15This driver supports Intel 82576-based virtual function devices-based virtual
16function devices that can only be activated on kernels that support SR-IOV.
17
18SR-IOV requires the correct platform and OS support.
19
20The guest OS loading this driver must support MSI-X interrupts.

22For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
23supplied with your Intel adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply to use
24with Linux.
25
26Driver information can be obtained using ethtool, lspci, and ifconfig.
27Instructions on updating ethtool can be found in the section Additional
28Configurations later in this document.
