Bugs

Hello team,

I wanna use VyOS 1.4-rolling-202203070319 on VM with Intel XL710 2-port 40GbE card’s VF interface.
Detected interface by iavf kernel module, but can’t commit settings with following errors.

This VF interface does not seems to support speed, duplex and flow control settings.
So, I tried adding “iavf” to lists of ethtool.py:191 and ethtool.py:201, it seems to work well.

Should I report a bug?

I’m posting in the forum for the first time, so I’m sorry if I said something strange.

Thanks.
