+
+In This Release
+===============
+
+This file describes the ixgbevf Linux* Base Driver for Intel Network
+Connection.
+
+The ixgbevf driver supports 82599-based virtual function devices that can only
+be activated on kernels with CONFIG_PCI_IOV enabled.
+
+The ixgbevf driver supports virtual functions generated by the ixgbe driver
+with a max_vfs value of 1 or greater.
+
+The guest OS loading the ixgbevf driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
+
+VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 32 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs.
+
+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+
+For more information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter &
+Driver ID Guide at:
+
+ http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-008441.htm
+
+Known Issues/Troubleshooting
+============================
+
+ Unloading Physical Function (PF) Driver Causes System Reboots When VM is
+ Running and VF is Loaded on the VM
+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Do not unload the PF driver (ixgbe) while VFs are assigned to guests.
+
+Support
+=======
+
+For general information, go to the Intel support website at:
+
+ http://support.intel.com
+
+or the Intel Wired Networking project hosted by Sourceforge at:
+
+ http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000
+
+If an issue is identified with the released source code on the supported
+kernel with a supported adapter, email the specific information related
+to the issue to e1000-devel@lists.sf.net

+Statically compiled regulatory database
+---------------------------------------
+
+In most situations the userland solution using CRDA as described
+above is the preferred solution. However in some cases a set of
+rules built into the kernel itself may be desirable. To account
+for this situation, a configuration option has been provided
+(i.e. CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB). With this option enabled,
+the wireless database information contained in net/wireless/db.txt is
+used to generate a data structure encoded in net/wireless/regdb.c.
+That option also enables code in net/wireless/reg.c which queries
+the data in regdb.c as an alternative to using CRDA.
+
+The file net/wireless/db.txt should be kept up-to-date with the db.txt
+file available in the git repository here:
+
+ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-regdb.git
+
+Again, most users in most situations should be using the CRDA package
+provided with their distribution, and in most other situations users
+should be building and using CRDA on their own rather than using
+this option. If you are not absolutely sure that you should be using
+CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB then _DO_NOT_USE_IT_.

+In addition to the required compatible-, reg- and interrupt-properties, you can
+also specify which clock source shall be used for the controller:
+
+- fsl,mscan-clock-source : a string describing the clock source. Valid values
+ are: "ip" for ip bus clock
+ "ref" for reference clock (XTAL)
+ "ref" is default in case this property is not

+fsl,mpc5121-mscan nodes
+-----------------------
+In addition to the required compatible-, reg- and interrupt-properties, you can
+also specify which clock source and divider shall be used for the controller:
+
+- fsl,mscan-clock-source : a string describing the clock source. Valid values
+ are: "ip" for ip bus clock
+ "ref" for reference clock
+ "sys" for system clock
+ If this property is not present, an optimal CAN
+ clock source and frequency based on the system
+ clock will be selected. If this is not possible,
+ the reference clock will be used.
+
+- fsl,mscan-clock-divider: for the reference and system clock, an additional
+ clock divider can be specified. By default, a
+ value of 1 is used.
+
+Note that the MPC5121 Rev. 1 processor is not supported.
