+Identifying the Adapter
+=======================
+
+To find if one or more Pensando PCI Ethernet devices are installed on the
+host, check for the PCI devices::
+
+ $ lspci -d 1dd8:
+ b5:00.0 Ethernet controller: Device 1dd8:1002
+ b6:00.0 Ethernet controller: Device 1dd8:1002
+
+If such devices are listed as above, then the ionic.ko driver should find
+and configure them for use. There should be log entries in the kernel
+messages such as these::
+
+ $ dmesg | grep ionic
+ ionic 0000:b5:00.0: 126.016 Gb/s available PCIe bandwidth (8.0 GT/s PCIe x16 link)
+ ionic 0000:b5:00.0 enp181s0: renamed from eth0
+ ionic 0000:b5:00.0 enp181s0: Link up - 100 Gbps
+ ionic 0000:b6:00.0: 126.016 Gb/s available PCIe bandwidth (8.0 GT/s PCIe x16 link)
+ ionic 0000:b6:00.0 enp182s0: renamed from eth0
+ ionic 0000:b6:00.0 enp182s0: Link up - 100 Gbps
+
+Driver and firmware version information can be gathered with either of
+ethtool or devlink tools::
+
+ $ ethtool -i enp181s0
+ driver: ionic
+ version: 5.7.0
+ firmware-version: 1.8.0-28
+ ...
+
+ $ devlink dev info pci/0000:b5:00.0
+ pci/0000:b5:00.0:
+ driver ionic
+ serial_number FLM18420073
+ versions:
+ fixed:
+ asic.id 0x0
+ asic.rev 0x0
+ running:
+ fw 1.8.0-28
+
+See Documentation/networking/devlink/ionic.rst for more information
+on the devlink dev info data.
+
+Enabling the driver
+===================
+
+The driver is enabled via the standard kernel configuration system,
+using the make command::
+
+ make oldconfig/menuconfig/etc.
+
+The driver is located in the menu structure at:
+
+ -> Device Drivers
+ -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])
+ -> Ethernet driver support
+ -> Pensando devices
+ -> Pensando Ethernet IONIC Support
+
+Configuring the Driver
+======================
+
+MTU
+---
+
+Jumbo frame support is available with a maximim size of 9194 bytes.
+
+Interrupt coalescing
+--------------------
+
+Interrupt coalescing can be configured by changing the rx-usecs value with
+the "ethtool -C" command. The rx-usecs range is 0-190. The tx-usecs value
+reflects the rx-usecs value as they are tied together on the same interrupt.
+
+SR-IOV
+------
+
+Minimal SR-IOV support is currently offered and can be enabled by setting
+the sysfs 'sriov_numvfs' value, if supported by your particular firmware
+configuration.
+
+Statistics
+==========
+
+Basic hardware stats
+--------------------
+
+The commands ``netstat -i``, ``ip -s link show``, and ``ifconfig`` show
+a limited set of statistics taken directly from firmware. For example::
+
+ $ ip -s link show enp181s0
+ 7: enp181s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
+ link/ether 00:ae:cd:00:07:68 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
+ RX: bytes packets errors dropped overrun mcast
+ 414 5 0 0 0 0
+ TX: bytes packets errors dropped carrier collsns
+ 1384 18 0 0 0 0
+
+ethtool -S
+----------
+
+The statistics shown from the ``ethtool -S`` command includes a combination of
+driver counters and firmware counters, including port and queue specific values.
+The driver values are counters computed by the driver, and the firmware values
+are gathered by the firmware from the port hardware and passed through the
+driver with no further interpretation.
