The last significant set of patches to the upstream ixgbevf driver are from 02/06/15, and it appears to have been accepted in the 4.0 kernel. >If yes, I will ask Amazon to update their documentation, because it >confuses some people >( see for instance https://github.com/coreos/coreos-overlay/issues/1148 ) Yeah, we need to update the version in the upstream driver.
