RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported
i am using CentOS 7.4, and checked in ixgbe driver source from centos,there is no ndo_set_vf_link_state handler.
i also checked ixgbe driver from intel driver download from version 3.x to version 5.3.4(latest for now), and no ndo_set_vf_link_state implemention.
is there a plan to support ndo_set_vf_link_state? or some patch available?
thanks a lot.
