I am migrating from using DPDK1.6r2 and the external vmxnet3 user map
driver to DPDK2.0.
I believe with DPDK2.0, the vmxnet3 PMD is builtin and I don=E2=80=99t need=
 to
use the external driver.
I have been able to build the DPDK2.0 and I see that
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_VMXNET3_PMD is set to y in the config.

Question is, what should be the steps that I follow on the ESXi node
in my virtual machine to detect the NIC with the above driver (I do
have vmxnet3 NIC there)
Should I load the uio and take over the NIC the usual way with igb_uio
and then run my application or are there any other steps to be
followed.

Regards
