72# -------- How to set parameters for a particular interface ---------
73# The example below shows how to locate the device path and set a parameter
74# for a particular ixgbe interface. (Using flow_control as an example)
75#
76# Use the following command to find out the device paths for ixgbe,
77#       more /etc/path_to_inst | grep ixgbe
78#
79# For example, if you see,
80#	"/pci@7b,0/pci10de,5d@e/pci8086,a15f@0" 0 "ixgbe"
81#	"/pci@7b,0/pci10de,5d@e/pci8086,a15f@0,1" 1 "ixgbe"
82#
83# name = "pciex8086,10c6" parent = "/pci@0,0/pci10de,\<pci10de\>5d@e" unit-address = "0"
84# flow_control = 1;
85# name = "pciex8086,10c6" parent = "/pci@0,0/\<pci\>pci10de,5d@e" unit-address = "1"
86# flow_control = 3;
