0017 This driver supports 82599, X540, X550, and X552-based virtual function devices
0018 that can only be activated on kernels that support SR-IOV.
0019
0020 For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
0021 supplied with your Intel adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply to use
0022 with Linux.

0025 Identifying Your Adapter
0026 ========================
0027 The driver is compatible with devices based on the following:
0028
0029 * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller 82598
0030 * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller 82599
0031 * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X520
0032 * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X540
0033 * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller x550
0034 * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X552
0035 * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X553
0036
0037 For information on how to identify your adapter, and for the latest Intel
0038 network drivers, refer to the Intel Support website:

0041 Known Issues/Troubleshooting
0042 ============================
0043
0044 SR-IOV requires the correct platform and OS support.
0045
0046 The guest OS loading this driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
0047
0048 This driver is only supported as a loadable module at this time. Intel is not
0049 supplying patches against the kernel source to allow for static linking of the
0050 drivers.
0051
0052 VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 64 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs.
