Hello,

I am trying to use DPDK on a IXGBE port, but whenever I bind the igb_uio
driver to this interface, the interface disappears from the system. DPDK
however shows the interface as attached. I also have the KNI module present
added to the system, as there are some previous threads that suggested that
the interface does not show up because igb_uio driver does not generate
netdev devices.

Following is the log of the operations:

1. `ifconfig` before binding:
enp3s0f0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500

2. ./dpdk-devbind.py --status-dev net

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
