Signed-off-by: Ferruh Yigit --- TODO: - Not all features all fully documented, need help from community - Instead of having a new file, it would be nice to auto generate this file from defaults.ini, and perhaps add extra information as comment to that file. - Some features are implementing eth_dev_ops and some are updates in Rx/Tx path. These features can be grouped together. - A link from overview file per feature would be nice. --- doc/guides/nics/overview.rst | 2 + doc/guides/nics/overview_features.rst | 610 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 612 insertions(+) create mode 100644 doc/guides/nics/overview_features.rst diff --git a/doc/guides/nics/overview.rst b/doc/guides/nics/overview.rst index 757a3c901..8eb5de533 100644 --- a/doc/guides/nics/overview.rst +++ b/doc/guides/nics/overview.rst @@ -48,6 +48,8 @@ There are more differences between drivers regarding some internal properties, portability or even documentation availability.
