[dpdk-dev] Problems with testpmd

[João Alberto Pereira de Araújo]

Good afternoon.
I'm new in here, but i installed DPDK and i haven't had any problems,
but when i try to run the test it appears
PMD: rte_ixgbe_pmd_init: >>
PMD: rte_ixgbevf_pmd_init(): rte_ixgbevf_pmd_init
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1
Cause: No probed ethernet devices - check that
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IGB_PMD=y that CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IXGBE_PMD=y in your
configuration file

I already check that lines in the configuration file
defconfig_i686-default-linuxapp-gcc and it's ok, and also checked the
debug lines also.

I have a board with 6 Gigabit ethernet ports (82574L) with the latest
driver from intel.

Thanks in advance.

As you can see in lib/librte_eal/common/include/rte_pci_dev_ids.h,
the NIC 82574L is not supported in this version.
Without extension, DPDK 1.2.3 supports only NIC families IGB and IXGBE.
But the device 82574L is known to be part of family e1000e.

For the record, here is a list of Intel NIC families:
- e1000 (8254x)
- e1000e (82571..82574, 82583, ich8..ich10, pch..pch2)
- igb (82575..82576, 82580, i210, i211, i350, dh89xxcc)
- ixgbe (82598..82599, x540)
