Hi,

this question is more suited to the users@dpdk.org rather than the
dev@dpdk.org list.

However, in order to debug your problem, it could be useful to send on
the output of "dpdk-devbind.py -s" to show the current state of the
various ports.

I notice too, that you are not running as the root user and not using
hugepage memory. In this case, the driver may not be able to function as
it cannot get the physical address information of the memory in use.
Does running using sudo and without the "--no-huge" flag work?
