| |
| This driver supports 82599, X540, X550, and X552-based virtual function devices |
| that can only be activated on kernels that support SR-IOV. |
| |
| For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation |
| supplied with your Intel adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply to use |
| with Linux. |
| |
| |
| Identifying Your Adapter |
| ======================== |
| The driver is compatible with devices based on the following: |
| |
| * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller 82598 |
| * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller 82599 |
| * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X520 |
| * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X540 |
| * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller x550 |
| * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X552 |
| * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X553 |
| |
| For information on how to identify your adapter, and for the latest Intel |
| network drivers, refer to the Intel Support website: |

| |
| 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. |
