Public bug reported:

Quoting Documentation/networking/ixgbevf.txt

"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."

Right now, only server-flavored kernels include this driver, which is
mildly inconvenient.

Description: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
Release: 10.04

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Incomplete
