SR-IOV requires the correct -platform and OS support. - -The igbvf driver requires the igb driver, version 2.0 or later. The igbvf -driver supports virtual functions generated by the igb driver with a max_vfs -value of 1 or greater. For more information on the max_vfs parameter refer -to the README included with the igb driver. - -The guest OS loading the igbvf 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 driver. For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the -documentation supplied with your Intel Gigabit adapter. All hardware -requirements listed apply to use with Linux. - -Instructions on updating ethtool can be found in the section "Additional -Configurations" later in this document. - -VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 32 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs. - -Identifying Your Adapter -======================== - -The igbvf driver supports 82576-based virtual function devices that can only -be activated on kernels that support SR-IOV. - -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 - -For the latest Intel network drivers for Linux, refer to the following -website.
