            Bug ID: 391
           Summary: The dpdk-devbind.py tool crashes if some NIC property
                    contains a unicode character - Patch proposal
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 19.11
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: other
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: pierrick.louin@orange.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 82
  --> https://bugs.dpdk.org/attachment.cgi?id=82&action=edit
Error + Correction patch proposed

Calling the dpdk-devbind.py tool may crash with the following message:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 17:
ordinal not in range(128)

Actually this happens when one of the network cards shows a non ascii code in
one of its properties.
The failure occurs whether or not the NIC in cause is concerned by the current
action.
Example of a mellanox card with attribute 'Subsystem: Mellanox Technologies
ConnectX®-5'.
