======================
The QEDE poll mode driver library (**librte_pmd_qede**) implements support
-for **QLogic FastLinQ QL4xxxx 25G/40G CNA** family of adapters as well
+for **QLogic FastLinQ QL4xxxx 25G/40G/100G CNA** family of adapters as well
as their virtual functions (VF) in SR-IOV context. It is supported on
several standard Linux distros like RHEL7.x, SLES12.x and Ubuntu.
It is compile-tested under FreeBSD OS.

Prerequisites
-------------
-- Requires firmware version **8.7.x.** and management firmware
- version **8.7.x or higher**. Firmware may be available
+- Requires firmware version **8.10.x.** and management firmware
+ version **8.10.x or higher**. Firmware may be available
inbox in certain newer Linux distros under the standard directory
- ``E.g. /lib/firmware/qed/qed_init_values_zipped-8.7.7.0.bin``
+ ``E.g. /lib/firmware/qed/qed_init_values_zipped-8.10.9.0.bin``
- If the required firmware files are not available then visit
`QLogic Driver Download Center <http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com>`_.
- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_QEDE_FW`` (default **""**)
Gives absolute path of firmware file.
- ``Eg: "/lib/firmware/qed/qed_init_values_zipped-8.7.7.0.bin"``
+ ``Eg: "/lib/firmware/qed/qed_init_values_zipped-8.10.9.0.bin"``
Empty string indicates driver will pick up the firmware file
from the default location.
