-The base driver to support firmware version of FVL3E will be integrated in the next
-DPDK release, so currently the validated firmware version is 4.2.6.

-Enabling Extended Tag
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-PCI configuration of ``extended_tag`` has big impact on small packet size
-performance of 40G ports. Enabling ``extended_tag`` can help 40G port to
-achieve the best performance, especially for small packet size.
-
-* Disabling/enabling ``extended_tag`` can be done in some BIOS implementations.
-
-* If BIOS does not enable it, and does not support changing it, tools
- (e.g. ``setpci`` on Linux) can be used to enable or disable ``extended_tag``.
-
-* From release 16.04, ``extended_tag`` is enabled by default during port
- initialization, users don't need to care about that anymore.
+Users should consult the release notes specific to a DPDK release to identify
+the validated firmware version for a NIC using the i40e driver.
