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.

Identifying Your Adapter
========================

For more information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter &
Driver ID Guide at:

    http://support.intel.com/support/go/network/adapter/idguide.htm

Known Issues/Troubleshooting
============================

  Unloading Physical Function (PF) Driver Causes System Reboots When VM is
  Running and VF is Loaded on the VM
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Do not unload the PF driver (ixgbe) while VFs are assigned to guests.
