41 Known Issues/Troubleshooting
42 ============================
44 SR-IOV requires the correct platform and OS support.
46 The guest OS loading this driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
48 This driver is only supported as a loadable module at this time. Intel is not
49 supplying patches against the kernel source to allow for static linking of the
52 VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 64 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs.
