+.Sh NAME
+.Nm vio
+.Nd VirtIO network device
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "vio* at virtio? flags 0x00"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for the
+.Xr virtio 4
+network interface provided by bhyve, KVM, QEMU, VirtualBox, and
+.Xr vmd 8 .
+.Pp
+Setting the bit 0x2 in the flags disables the RingEventIndex feature.
+This can be tried as a workaround for possible bugs in host implementations of
+.Nm
+at the cost of slightly reduced performance.
+.Pp
+Setting the bit 0x100 in the flags forces the interface to be always in
+promiscuous mode.
+This can be used as a workaround for a bug in QEMU before version 1.7.2 that
+prevents packets with a VLAN tag from being sent to the guest.
