Thanks.
Will you be able to point me to the patch which fixes this issue in ixgbevf
driver?
If it is a minor one, I can live with the patch. If possible, point me to
the related file in ixgbevf driver.
In case of updating the driver, only updating ixgbevf alone is enough OR I
need to update both ixgbe and ixgbevf ??
Is there any dependency with user land packages (related to nettools or
something related) ??
Thanks!
