-This file describes the ixgbevf Linux* Base Driver for Intel Network
|
|
|
-Connection.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The ixgbevf driver supports 82599-based virtual function devices that can only
|
|
|
-be activated on kernels with CONFIG_PCI_IOV enabled.
|
|
|
+This driver supports 82599, X540, X550, and X552-based virtual function devices
|
|
|
+that can only be activated on kernels that support SR-IOV.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-The ixgbevf driver supports virtual functions generated by the ixgbe driver
|
|
|
-with a max_vfs value of 1 or greater.
|
|
|
+For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
|
|
|
+supplied with your Intel adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply to use
|
|
|
+with Linux.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-The guest OS loading the ixgbevf driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 32 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs.

Known Issues/Troubleshooting
|
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
+SR-IOV requires the correct platform and OS support.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The guest OS loading this driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This driver is only supported as a loadable module at this time. Intel is not
|
|
|
+supplying patches against the kernel source to allow for static linking of the
|
|
|
+drivers.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 64 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs.
