+Co-existence considerations
+---------------------------
+- QLogic FastLinQ QL4xxxx CNAs can have both NIC and Storage personalities. However, coexistence with storage protocol drivers (qedi and qedf) is not supported on the same adapter. So storage personality has to be disabled on that adapter when used in DPDK applications.
+- For SR-IOV case, qede PMD will be used to bind to SR-IOV VF device and Linux native kernel driver (qede) will be attached to SR-IOV PF.
Supported QLogic Adapters

Prerequisites
-------------
-- Requires storm firmware version **8.30.12.0**. Firmware may be available
+- Requires storm firmware version **8.33.12.0**. Firmware may be available
inbox in certain newer Linux distros under the standard directory
- ``E.g. /lib/firmware/qed/qed_init_values-8.30.12.0.bin``
+ ``E.g. /lib/firmware/qed/qed_init_values-8.33.12.0.bin``.
If the required firmware files are not available then download it from
- `QLogic Driver Download Center <http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com/QLogicDriverDownloads_UI/DefaultNewSearch.aspx>`_.
- For downloading firmware file, select adapter category, model and DPDK Poll Mode Driver.
+ `linux-firmware git repository <http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/qed>`_
+ or `QLogic Driver Download Center <http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com/QLogicDriverDownloads_UI/DefaultNewSearch.aspx>`_.
+ To download firmware file from QLogic website, select adapter category, model and DPDK Poll Mode Driver.
-- Requires management firmware (MFW) version **8.30.x.x** or higher to be
+- Requires management firmware (MFW) version **8.34.x.x** or higher to be
flashed on to the adapter. If the required management firmware is not
available then download from
`QLogic Driver Download Center <http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com/QLogicDriverDownloads_UI/DefaultNewSearch.aspx>`_.
Toggle display of receive fast path run-time messages.
-- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_QEDE_VF_TX_SWITCH`` (default **"y"**)
-
- A knob to control per-VF Tx switching feature.
-
- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_QEDE_FW`` (default **""**)
Gives absolute path of firmware file.
- ``Eg: "/lib/firmware/qed/qed_init_values-8.30.12.0.bin"``
+ ``Eg: "/lib/firmware/qed/qed_init_values-8.33.12.0.bin"``
Empty string indicates driver will pick up the firmware file
from the default location /lib/firmware/qed.
CAUTION this option is more for custom firmware, it is not
This section provides instructions to configure SR-IOV with Linux OS.
