+FM10K Poll Mode Driver
+======================
+The FM10K poll mode driver library provides support for Intel FM10000 family
+of 40GbE/100GbE adapters.
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+Intel FM10000 family of NICs integrate an hardware switch and multiple host
+interfaces. FM10K PMD driver only manages host interfaces. For the switch
+component, another switch driver has to be loaded prior to FM10K PMD driver.
+The switch driver either can be acquired by Intel support or from below link:
+https://github.com/match-interface
+
+CRC strip
+FM10000 family always strip CRC for every packets coming into host interface.
+So, CRC will be stripped even (struct rte_eth_conf).rxmode.hw_strip_crc is set
+to 0.
+
+Max packet length
+FM10000 family support maximum of 15K jumbo frame. The value is fixed and can't
+be changed. So, even (struct rte_eth_conf).rxmode.max_rx_pkt_len is set to a value
+other than 15364, the frames with 15364 byte still can reach to host interface.
