# -------- How to set parameters for a particular interface ---------
# The example below shows how to locate the device path and set a parameter
# for a particular ixgbe interface. (Using flow_control as an example)
#
# Use the following command to find out the device paths for ixgbe,
# more /etc/path_to_inst | grep ixgbe
#
# For example, if you see,
#
# name = "pciex8086,10c6" parent = "/pci@0,0/pci10de,\<pci10de\>5d@e" unit-address = "0"
# flow_control = 1;
# name = "pciex8086,10c6" parent = "/pci@0,0/\<pci\>pci10de,5d@e" unit-address = "1"
# flow_control = 3;
