9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt# The example below shows how to locate the device path and set a parameter
9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt# for a particular ixgbe interface. (Using flow_control as an example)
9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt# Use the following command to find out the device paths for ixgbe,
9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt# more /etc/path_to_inst | grep ixgbe
9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt# For example, if you see,
