Re: [dpdk-dev] ixgbe network card has dev_info.max_rx_queues == 0

[Alex Markuze <alex@weka.io>]

RX and TX Are short hand for Receive and Transmit Queues.
These Queues Store the in/egress packets.

Just looking at the info you've sent it tells you that max_rx_queues
for this dev is 0 (Clearly something is wrong here) so the nb_rx_q
which is 3 is an Invalid Value -EINVAL == -22.
