OK. Since this type of question has already been asked and will probably be asked again and again, I will explain it on the website. For the record, here is how you should search for a supported NIC: # grep -r 'RTE_PCI_DEV_ID_DECL.*82575' lib RTE_PCI_DEV_ID_DECL(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, E1000_DEV_ID_82575EB_COPPER) RTE_PCI_DEV_ID_DECL(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, E1000_DEV_ID_82575EB_FIBER_SERDES) RTE_PCI_DEV_ID_DECL(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, E1000_DEV_ID_82575GB_QUAD_COPPER) So your NIC 82575EB is supported. As you can see, the source code is a good documentation. To all users, please try to search in it before asking questions. -- Thomas
