-Stopping the port does not down the link on Intel® 40G Ethernet controller
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-**Description**:
-   On Intel® 40G Ethernet Controller stopping the port does not really down the port link.

-**Implication**:
-   The port link will be still up after stopping the port.

+The last EAL argument is replaced by the program name in argv[]
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+**Description**:
+   The last EAL argument is replaced by program name in ``argv[]`` after ``eal_parse_args`` is called.
+   This is the intended behavior but it causes the pointer to the last EAL argument to be lost.
+
+**Implication**:
+  If the last EAL argument in ``argv[]`` is generated by a malloc function, changing it will cause memory
+  issues when freeing the argument.
+
+**Resolution/Workaround**:
+   An application should not consider the value in ``argv[]`` as unchanged.

+I40e VF may not receive packets in the promiscuous mode
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+**Description**:
+   Promiscuous mode is not supported by the DPDK i40e VF driver when using the
+   i40e Linux kernel driver as host driver.
+
+**Implication**:
+   The i40e VF does not receive packets when the destination MAC address is unknown.
+
+**Resolution/Workaround**:
+   Use a explicit destination MAC address that matches the VF.
