Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] doc/devbind: remove references to igb_uio
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2020 10:53:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200924175347.13619-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200906033846.24686-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
We should be encouraging the use of vfio_pci for developers, not telling
them to use igb_uio.
