Hi,
Please may we request that commit 6e6026f2dd20 ("igb: Enable RSS for
Intel I211 Ethernet Controller") be backported to the 5.4 and 5.10 LTS
kernels?
The Intel i211 Ethernet Controller supports 2 Receive Side Scaling
(RSS) queues, the patch corrects the issue that the i211 should not be
excluded from having this feature enabled.
Best regards,
Nick
