hello friends,

Is there anyone else facing the same issue ?
Would like to understand if I am missing something. I am new to this
platform.
rte_eth_dev_count_avail is returning zero.
OS is Ubuntu 22.04. DPDK is latest version.
Cards are being detected by Linux. Ifconfig is showing the cards up. LED is
also glowing.

Thanks & Regards
