Using the dpdk-setup.sh script I am = able to bind the NIC to uio_driver. After binding it to igb_uio module, tha= t NIC is shown under the DPDK Comatiable drivers list, but there is no inte= rface name for this NIC=C2=A0and am not able to use=C2=A0that NIC in DPDK t= ests.=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 So, how to get the interface name for this NIC. Otherwise, is= it possible to use without interface name? 2) Runnig DPDK test application without binding NIC to igb_uio module: =C2=A0 =C2=A0 The DPDK document clear says that, if a NIC is under Linux co= ntrol, it will be ignored by the DPDK. what does it mean? Is it like, I will not be able to run any DPDK tests if I don't ha= ve NIC under DPDK compatible driver? =C2=A0 =C2=A0 As I have observed in my tests, even without binding a NIC to= DPDK igb_uio module, I am able to run the DPDK tests on that NIC. So, what= is the importance/significance of binding a NIC to DPDK igb_uio module? Thanks in advance for quick response. Regards,Anand Prasad
