Known problems and limitations
The following problems are known to exist in this release:
• While loading IOCXGBE module through kcmodule command following message may be
displayed on terminal when various parameters are being set in configuration file
(/etc/rc.config.d/hpiocxgbeconf). Though driver loading is successful but parameter settings
will not take effect.

kernel code. It will be ignored.
==> Update the automatic 'backup' configuration first? no
* Future operations will ask whether to update the backup.
postload: Failure in driver init script to configure hw.
ERROR lan6: The operation could not be done.

tx_coal Set transmit interrupt coalescing value (0-1000000,
default 32 usecs)
rx_coal Set receive interrupt coalescing value (0-1000000,
default 20 usecs)
tx_fctrl Set transmit flow control (respond to pause frames,
default On)
