 Configuration Information
 -------------------------
 
-**DPDK Configuration Parameters**
+**DPDK Configuration Parameter**
 
-  The following configuration options are available for the ARK PMD:
-
-   * **CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_ARK_PMD** (default y): Enables or disables inclusion
-     of the ARK PMD driver in the DPDK compilation.
-
-   * **CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_ARK_PAD_TX** (default y):  When enabled TX
-     packets are padded to 60 bytes to support downstream MACS.
+   * **RTE_LIBRTE_ARK_MIN_TX_PKTLEN** (default 0): Sets the minimum
+     packet length for tx packets to the FPGA.  Packets less than this
+     length are padded to meet the requirement. This allows padding to
+     be offloaded or remain in host software.

 For configuring and using UIO and VFIO frameworks, please also refer :ref:`the
