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.
|
|
|
|
The ixgbevf driver supports virtual functions generated by the ixgbe driver
|
|
with a max_vfs value of 1 or greater.
|
|
|
|
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.
