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.
