I guess the referenced virtio-net-PMD below is dpdk1.3 compatible but not n= ecessarily a newer version. So I assume will need to update it for 1.6, etc= . So, can anyone confirm that the intel-provided virtio pmd with dpdk 1.6 doe= s NOT work with virtual box?

I have been using it to run testpmd on Virtualbox longtime ago.
