from the dpdk-setup script, i see there are devices supported by dpdk

Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
============================================

Network devices using kernel driver
===================================

0000:01:00.2 'I350 Gigabit Network Connection 1521' if=enp1s0f2 drv=igb
unused=vfio-pci
0000:01:00.3 'I350 Gigabit Network Connection 1521' if=enp1s0f3 drv=igb
unused=vfio-pci

Other Network devices
=====================
<none>

My understanding is, it should consider the devices under "Network devices
using DPDK-compatible driver", but it is not.
The nic that i am using Intel 82599, which is supported by dpdk.

can someone help me to understand what is wrong here?

Thanks,
Venkat
