Re: [E1000-devel] MSI-X interrupts and multiple receive queues

[Ronciak, J. <joh...@in...>]

The 82575 is a PCI-e only device.  So there are no PCI NIC for this
controller.  That is not what Mitch was saying.  If you have an 82575
deive you need to use the igb driver.  If you need to use multi-queue RX
then you need to use an 82575 device.

Cheers,
John
