Thank you very much, this is extremely useful information! We would
definitely like to use the in-tree version of the driver, so if there is
any documentation or pointers on how to use ethtool, sysfs and other tools
to control the card that would be great. Even just a pointer to the
relevant part of the code is fine. In this case relevant = initializing the
on-board switch so dpdk can use the card. Given that starting point I think
I should be able to figure things out more or less from reading the code.

Thanks! Here is the requested info:
