VDEV_NETVSC driver
==================
Run-time parameters
-------------------
-To invoke this driver, applications have to explicitly provide the
-``--vdev=net_vdev_netvsc`` EAL option.
+This driver is invoked automatically in Hyper-V VM systems unless the user
+invoked it by command line using ``--vdev=net_vdev_netvsc`` EAL option.
The following device parameters are supported:
Same as ``iface`` except a suitable NetVSC interface is located using its
MAC address.
+- ``force`` [int]
+
+ If nonzero, forces the use of specified interfaces even if not detected as
+ NetVSC or detected as routed NETVSC.
+
+- ``ignore`` [int]
+
+ If nonzero, ignores the driver runnig (actually used to disable the
+ auto-detection in Hyper-V VM).
+
Not specifying either ``iface`` or ``mac`` makes this driver attach itself to
all unrouted NetVSC interfaces found on the system.
