 # host-device
+
 Move an already-existing device into a container.
 
-This simple plugin will move the requested device from the host's network namespace
-to the container's. Nothing else will be done - no IPAM, no addresses.
+## Overview
 
-The device can be specified with any one of three properties:
+This simple plugin will move the requested device from the host's network namespace
+to the container's. IPAM configuration can be used for this plugin.
+
+## Network configuration reference
+
+The device can be specified with any one of four properties:
 * `device`: The device name, e.g. `eth0`, `can0`
 * `hwaddr`: A MAC address
 * `kernelpath`: The kernel device kobj, e.g. `/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.6`
+* `pciBusID`: A PCI address of network device, e.g `0000:00:1f.6`
 
 For this plugin, `CNI_IFNAME` will be ignored. Upon DEL, the device will be moved back.
