Hi, 
We have been trying to make a sample DPDK application work on RHEL 7.0 and keep getting these errors saying /dev/kni can't be loaded. There are no instructions on how to find or build this kernel model (rte_kni) and it doesn't appear to be installed or built by default.

Please suggest if we are missing some steps or from where to get this kernel module

Thanks,
Cyrus

You need to have KNI module enabled in the config.
By default all kernel modules in DPDK are now disabled.

Set
CONFIG_RTE_KNI_KMOD=y

Then after build you will find kni module in the build result.
You will have to manually insmod it.

I assume you are using older release with make (not current releases with meson).
