+#### Disabling SR-IOV Config Daemon plugins
+
+It is possible to disable SR-IOV network operator config daemon plugins in case their operation
+is not needed or un-desirable.
+
+As an example, some plugins perform vendor specific firmware configuration
+to enable SR-IOV (e.g `mellanox` plugin). certain deployment environments may prefer to perform such configuration
+once during node provisioning, while ensuring the configuration will be compatible with any sriov network node policy
+defined for the particular environment. This will reduce or completely eliminate the need for reboot of nodes during SR-IOV
+configurations by the operator.
+
+This can be done by providing the names of plugins to disable as a comma separated list of strings via
+`SRIOV_NETWORK_CONFIG_DAEMON_DISABLE_PLUGINS` environment variable to the operator deployment or using
+`sriovConfigDaemon.disablePlugins` helm value.
+
+> **NOTE**: Currently only `mellanox` plugin can be disabled.
