## SEE ALSO

[arp(4)](/arp/4.md), [ifmedia(4)](/ifmedia/4.md), [intro(4)](/intro/4.md), [ix(4)](/ix/4.md), [netintro(4)](/netintro/4.md), [pci(4)](/pci/4.md), [hostname.if(5)](/hostname.if/5.md), [ifconfig(8)](/ifconfig/8.md)

## HISTORY

The **ixv** driver first appeared in OpenBSD 7.7.

## AUTHORS

The **ixv** driver was written by Intel Corporation and ported to OpenBSD by NAITO Yuichiro.

## BUGS

The VF relies on “vlan-filter” to receive VLAN-tagged packets. Because the current driver doesn't have a way to configure it, any VLAN-tagged packets will not be passed. Alternatively, on the host running the primary function, there might be a way to configure a VLAN ID.
