Do "lspci -nn" and check the device-id. Adding support in PMD should not be a problem, but I am not sure on support since there is End of Life listed on Intel Website http://ark.intel.com/products/4964/Intel-82545GM-Gigabit-Ethernet-Controller > Network devices using kernel driver > =================================== > 0000:00:19.0 'Ethernet Connection I217-V' if=eno1 drv=e1000e > unused=uio_pci_generic *Active* > DPDK doesn't bind Active NIC, support for I217-V in PMD is being tested currently. > > Other network devices > ===================== > > > $ sudo testpmd -c 0x3 -n 2 -- -i --total-num-mbufs=2048 > EAL: Detected lcore 0 as core 0 on socket 0 > EAL: Detected lcore 1 as core 1 on socket 0 > EAL: Detected lcore 2 as core 0 on socket 0 > EAL: Detected lcore 3 as core 1 on socket 0 > EAL: Support maximum 128 logical core(s) by configuration. > EAL: Detected 4 lcore(s) > EAL: VFIO modules not all loaded, skip VFIO support... > EAL: Setting up physically contiguous memory... > EAL: Ask a virtual area of 0x3c00000 bytes > EAL: Virtual area found at 0x7fe973e00000 (size = 0x3c00000) > EAL: Ask a virtual area of 0x200000 bytes > EAL: Virtual area found at 0x7fe973a00000 (size = 0x200000) > EAL: Ask a virtual area of 0x200000 bytes > EAL: Virtual area found at 0x7fe973600000 (size = 0x200000) > EAL: Ask a virtual area of 0x3c00000 bytes > EAL: Virtual area found at 0x7fe96f800000 (size = 0x3c00000) > EAL: Ask a virtual area of 0x200000 bytes > EAL: Virtual area found at 0x7fe96f400000 (size = 0x200000) > EAL: Ask a virtual area of 0x200000 bytes > EAL: Virtual area found at 0x7fe96f000000 (size = 0x200000) > EAL: Requesting 64 pages of size 2MB from socket 0 > EAL: TSC frequency is ~3699998 KHz > EAL: Master lcore 0 is ready (tid=7989d8c0;cpuset=[0]) > EAL: lcore 1 is ready (tid=6efff700;cpuset=[1]) > EAL: No probed ethernet devices > Interactive-mode selected > Done > testpmd> > > Thanks > Jan Viktorin > > On Wed, 29 Jul 2015 12:09:06 +0300 > ciprian.barbu wrote: > > > > > > > On 28.07.2015 21:13, Jan Viktorin wrote: > > > Hello all, > > > > > > I am learning how to measure throughput with dpdk.
