But I have confirmed, the issue was related to this commit (which Thomas br= ought to my notice) -- http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/commit/?id=3D18f02ff75949de9c2468 The above should get you the context for the original issue.

More to the point, I can't see how this would be relevant to vmxnet3 initia= lization. All this config option does is automatically unbinds NICs for you= , which is something you can do manually with the included igb_uio_bind.py/= pci_unbind.py script anyway. Could you please elaborate on how exactly this= option helped with vmxnet3 initialization?
