+BNXT Poll Mode Driver
+=====================
 
 The bnxt poll mode library (**librte_pmd_bnxt**) implements support for:
-**Broadcom NetXtreme-C®/NetXtreme-E® BCM5730X and BCM5740X family of
-Ethernet Network Controllers**.  These adapters support Standards compliant
-10/25/50Gbps 30MPPS full-duplex throughput.
-**Broadcom StrataGX® BCM5871X Series of Communucations Processors**
-These ARM based processors target a broad range of networking applications
-including virtual CPE (vCPE) and NFV appliances, 10G service routers and
-gateways, control plane processing for Ethernet switches and network attached
-storage (NAS).
