+In This Release
+===============
+
+This file describes the ixgbevf Linux* Base Driver for Intel Network
+Connection.
+
+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.
+
+The guest OS loading the ixgbevf driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
+
+VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 32 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs.
+
+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+
+For more information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter &
+Driver ID Guide at:
+
+    http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-008441.htm
+
+Known Issues/Troubleshooting
+============================
+
+  Unloading Physical Function (PF) Driver Causes System Reboots When VM is
+  Running and VF is Loaded on the VM
+  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  Do not unload the PF driver (ixgbe) while VFs are assigned to guests.
+
+Support
+=======
