* The framework can only be enabled with Linux. BSD is not supported.
-* To detach a port, the port should be backed by a device that igb_uio
- or VFIO manages.
-
* Not all PMDs support detaching feature.
- To know whether a PMD can support detaching, search for the
- "RTE_ETH_DEV_DETACHABLE" flag in rte_eth_dev::data::dev_flags. If the flag is
- defined in the PMD, detaching is supported.
+ The underlying bus must support hot-unplug. If not supported,
+ the function ``rte_eth_dev_detach()`` will return negative ENOTSUP.
