Bug Description
"The igbvf driver supports 82576-based virtual function devices that can only be activated on kernels that support SR-IOV." It's also useful in virtual machines that have these VF devices assigned to them.
Right now, only server-flavord kernels include this driver, which is mildly inconvenient.
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
Release: 10.04

Seems this is resolved in subsequent releases:
~/ubuntu- maverick/ CONFIGS$ grep -rn "CONFIG_IGBVF" *.virtual flavour. virtual: 1951:CONFIG_ IGBVF=m flavour. virtual: 2072:CONFIG_ IGBVF=m
amd64-config.
i386-config.
~/ubuntu- natty/CONFIGS$ grep -rn "CONFIG_IGBVF" *.virtual flavour. virtual: 1979:CONFIG_ IGBVF=m flavour. virtual: 2122:CONFIG_ IGBVF=m
amd64-config.
i386-config.
~/ubuntu- oneiric/ CONFIGS$ grep -rn "CONFIG_IGBVF" *.virtual flavour. virtual: 2019:CONFIG_ IGBVF=m flavour. virtual: 2161:CONFIG_ IGBVF=m
amd64-config.
i386-config.
As a result I'm marking the actively developed linux task as Fix Released. I'll then open a Lucid specific nomination for this to be considered for SRU. Thanks.
