40 Known Issues/Troubleshooting
41 ============================
43 SR-IOV requires the correct platform and OS support.
45 The guest OS loading this driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
47 This driver is only supported as a loadable module at this time. Intel is not
48 supplying patches against the kernel source to allow for static linking of the
51 VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 64 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs.
