---Problem Description---
There is on "ibmvnic" in 4.8.0-14-generic package:
root@roselp2:~# uname -a
Linux roselp2 4.8.0-14-generic #15-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 20 21:59:33 UTC 2016
ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux
root@roselp2:~# modprobe ibmvnic
modprobe: FATAL: Module ibmvnic not found in directory
/lib/modules/4.8.0-14-generic
root@roselp2:~#
so the vNIC device which works well under 4.4 kernel doens't work
now.
