Sorry, I was out sick towards the end of last week and playing catch up for the last few days...  Info inline.

By perm_addr do you mean the MAC Address of the vf?  Yes, it is set up (and I can view it vi ip link or sysconfig) when I see the op not supported message (after I fi vfs via sysfs, before bringing the vf interface up or reloading igbvf.)
