Make sure that the PF device is up. Even if you don't assign it an IP address, you still need to have the interface up and running (i.e. ifconfig eth1 up) for the VFs to work correctly. I know that's a confusing error message, because it bit me too. I'll submit a patch to change it soon. -Mitch ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ E1000-devel mailing list E1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/e1000-devel
