Comment 1 for bug 1934957

Thank you for your bug report.

I believe this is a reasonable request, however since the real bug (or missing feature) is in the igb/igbvf drivers I would suggest a workaround here that is the least intrusive for users of other drivers, for example (just thinking out loud):

Maybe introduce a new config option like: suppress_igbvf_vf_state_enable_error. Which would default to False and then the agent would behave as today. But when set to True sriov-agent would ignore the exception and proceed.

Of course if the driver version is available in a distro-independent way, then using that is another option. But if it's not available, we could not tell when to start not ignoring the exception if and when the bug gets fixed in the driver.

What do you think? Do you maybe want to upload a fix?
