[dpdk-dev] Issue with l2fwd in kvm guest

[Ajith Adapa <ajith.adapa@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am just trying out DPDK in a fedora 18 KVM guest and have an issue when I
am trying l2fwd application.

I am binding eth1, eth2 interfaces using below commands

./igb_uio_bind.py --bind=igb_uio eth1
./igb_uio_bind.py --bind=igb_uio eth2

When I run l2fwd app I get following error

./l2fwd -c 1 -n 4

Can anyone point me to right direction regarding where I am doing the
mistake ?
