+- Known Issues
+- Support
+
+This driver supports 82599, X540, X550, and X552-based virtual function devices
+that can only be activated on kernels that support SR-IOV.
+
+For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
+supplied with your Intel adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply to use
+with Linux.
+
+
+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+The driver is compatible with devices based on the following:
+
+  * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller 82598
+  * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller 82599
+  * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X520
+  * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X540
+  * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller x550
+  * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X552
+  * Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X553
+
+For information on how to identify your adapter, and for the latest Intel
+network drivers, refer to the Intel Support website:
+https://www.intel.com/support
+
+Known Issues/Troubleshooting
+============================
+
+SR-IOV requires the correct platform and OS support.
+
+The guest OS loading this driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
+
+This driver is only supported as a loadable module at this time. Intel is not
+supplying patches against the kernel source to allow for static linking of the
+drivers.
+
+VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 64 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs.
+
+
