OFED is installed and working correctly with all drivers loaded. I get to the point of compiling dpdk with support enabled and nothing appears to come out during the compile (for mlx4 which is included in the .config). My interfaces are not being seen by the PMD though I am aware it works differently than the base supported adapters.
