It would be best to list both, but it might be too much when in-tree drivers are being tested on multiple kernels etc. Removing the column could work, but may lose some info for older releases. So I just sent a patch to update the text: http://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/20231110121407.444282-1-ktraynor@redhat.com >> diff --git a/doc/guides/nics/ice.rst b/doc/guides/nics/ice.rst >> index c7f82c261d..ce075e067c 100644 >> --- a/doc/guides/nics/ice.rst >> +++ b/doc/guides/nics/ice.rst >> @@ -64,6 +64,8 @@ The detailed information can refer to chapter Tested Platforms/Tested NICs in re >> +-----------+---------------+-----------------+-----------+--------------+-----------+ >> | 22.03 | 1.8.3 | 1.3.28 | 1.3.35 | 1.3.8 | 3.2 | >> +-----------+---------------+-----------------+-----------+--------------+-----------+ >> + | 22.07 | 1.9.11 | 1.3.30 | 1.3.37 | 1.3.10 | 4.0 | >> + +-----------+---------------+-----------------+-----------+--------------+-----------+ >> >> Pre-Installation Configuration >> ------------------------------ >
