+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
 
+The driver in this release is compatible with 82598 and 82599-based Intel
+Network Connections.
 
-In This Release
-===============
+For more information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter &
+Driver ID Guide at:
 
-This file describes the ixgbe Linux Base Driver for the 10 Gigabit PCI
-Express Intel(R) Network Connection.  This driver includes support for
-Itanium(R)2-based systems.
+    http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-012904.htm
 
-For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
-supplied with your 10 Gigabit adapter.  All hardware requirements listed apply
-to use with Linux.
+SFP+ Devices with Pluggable Optics
+----------------------------------
 
-The following features are available in this kernel:
- - Native VLANs
- - Channel Bonding (teaming)
- - SNMP
- - Generic Receive Offload
- - Data Center Bridging
+82599-BASED ADAPTERS
 
-Channel Bonding documentation can be found in the Linux kernel source:
-/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt
+NOTES: If your 82599-based Intel(R) Network Adapter came with Intel optics, or
+is an Intel(R) Ethernet Server Adapter X520-2, then it only supports Intel
+optics and/or the direct attach cables listed below.
 
-Ethtool, lspci, and ifconfig can be used to display device and driver
-specific information.
+When 82599-based SFP+ devices are connected back to back, they should be set to
+the same Speed setting via Ethtool. Results may vary if you mix speed settings.
+82598-based adapters support all passive direct attach cables that comply
+with SFF-8431 v4.1 and SFF-8472 v10.4 specifications. Active direct attach
+cables are not supported.

+82598-BASED ADAPTERS
 
-# modprobe ixgbe
+NOTES for 82598-Based Adapters:
+- Intel(R) Network Adapters that support removable optical modules only support
+  their original module type (i.e., the Intel(R) 10 Gigabit SR Dual Port
+  Express Module only supports SR optical modules). If you plug in a different
+  type of module, the driver will not load.
+- Hot Swapping/hot plugging optical modules is not supported.
+- Only single speed, 10 gigabit modules are supported.
+- LAN on Motherboard (LOMs) may support DA, SR, or LR modules. Other module
+  types are not supported. Please see your system documentation for details.
 
-   The insmod command can be used if the full
-   path to the driver module is specified.  For example:
+The following is a list of 3rd party SFP+ modules and direct attach cables that
+have received some testing. Not all modules are applicable to all devices.

+with SFF-8431 v4.1 and SFF-8472 v10.4 specifications. Active direct attach
+cables are not supported.
 
-3. Assign an IP address to the interface by entering the following, where
-   x is the interface number:
 
-     ifconfig ethx <IP_address>
+Flow Control
+------------
+Ethernet Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x) can be configured with ethtool to enable
+receiving and transmitting pause frames for ixgbe. When TX is enabled, PAUSE
+frames are generated when the receive packet buffer crosses a predefined
+threshold.  When rx is enabled, the transmit unit will halt for the time delay
+specified when a PAUSE frame is received.
 
-4. Verify that the interface works. Enter the following, where <IP_address>
-   is the IP address for another machine on the same subnet as the interface
-   that is being tested:
+Flow Control is enabled by default. If you want to disable a flow control
+capable link partner, use Ethtool:
 
-     ping  <IP_address>
+     ethtool -A eth? autoneg off RX off TX off
 
+NOTE: For 82598 backplane cards entering 1 gig mode, flow control default
+behavior is changed to off.  Flow control in 1 gig mode on these devices can
+lead to Tx hangs.

   ----

+  MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing feature
+  ----------------------------------
+  When a malicious driver attempts to send a spoofed packet, it is dropped by

+
+  When a spoofed packet is detected the PF driver will send the following

+Known Issues
+============
+
+  Enabling SR-IOV in a 32-bit Microsoft* Windows* Server 2008 Guest OS using
+  Intel (R) 82576-based GbE or Intel (R) 82599-based 10GbE controller under KVM
+  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  KVM Hypervisor/VMM supports direct assignment of a PCIe device to a VM.  This
+  includes traditional PCIe devices, as well as SR-IOV-capable devices using
+  Intel 82576-based and 82599-based controllers.
+
+  While direct assignment of a PCIe device or an SR-IOV Virtual Function (VF)
+  to a Linux-based VM running 2.6.32 or later kernel works fine, there is a
+  known issue with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 VM that results in a "yellow
+  bang" error. This problem is within the KVM VMM itself, not the Intel driver,
+  or the SR-IOV logic of the VMM, but rather that KVM emulates an older CPU
+  model for the guests, and this older CPU model does not support MSI-X
+  interrupts, which is a requirement for Intel SR-IOV.
 
-  NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the ixgbe driver.  NAPI is enabled
-  by default in the driver.
+  If you wish to use the Intel 82576 or 82599-based controllers in SR-IOV mode
+  with KVM and a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 guest try the following
+  workaround. The workaround is to tell KVM to emulate a different model of CPU
+  when using qemu to create the KVM guest:
