Subject: how many msi (msi-x) vectors can be setup?

hi there:
how many msi (msi-x) vectors can be setup?
the number is limited by hardware resource(nic), or kernel ?
I found that the driver (broadcom 57711 ver 1.5.12) tried to request
16 queues on my kernel2.6.27,but only 2  available
will it be increased if I update the driver or kernel?
and there is a limitiation in the system? if the other devices have
already occupied too many MSI vectors then it is not enough.


thanks
rui
