Re: [E1000-devel] Error when setting a Flow Director rule

[Kevin W. <wk...@gm...>]

Alexander,
Thanks for you quick response, much appreciated!

I am just following the directions in the most updated place:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/Documentation/networking/ixgbe.txt

So I believe that these directions should be updated to reflect the
updated state (I am thinking of sending a patch)

Regards,
Kevin
