Hi,

I am running into a problem when I bind the igb_uio driver to the network
card. I am using dpdk 16.04 and my kernel version is 3.2.14.

Using the setup script, I compiled the target library, inserted the igb_uio
module, set up hugepages, and bound the igb_uio driver.

$ ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --status

Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
============================================
0000:01:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection' drv=igb_uio
unused=uio_pci_generic

Network devices using kernel driver
===================================
0000:01:00.1 '82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection' if=eth4
drv=ixgbe unused=igb_uio,uio_pci_generic
0000:06:00.0 'I350 Gigabit Network Connection' if=eth0 drv=igb
unused=igb_uio,uio_pci_generic *Active*
0000:06:00.1 'I350 Gigabit Network Connection' if=eth1 drv=igb
unused=igb_uio,uio_pci_generic

Other network devices
=====================
<none>


However, when I run ifconfig -a, I can no longer see the network card:

$ ifconfig -a

Why is this? I believe I should see a dpdk0 card when it is bound. When I
unbind the card, it does show up if I run ifconfig.

Many thanks,

Thomas

Ifconfig only shows the devices that are bound to a kernel driver.
In your case, you are binding a device to igb_uio, so the kernel has no visibility of it anymore.
Once you bind the device to igb_uio, you can run a DPDK application and use that port in it.
