Hello I'm trying to install DPDK on my laptop.
I have 82579LM NIC which i'm trying to bind to the igb_uio driver. I get the following error # ./tools/pci_unbind.py --status Network devices using IGB_UIO driver ==================================== <none> Network devices using kernel driver =================================== 0000:00:19.0 '82579LM Gigabit Network Connection' if=eth0 drv=e1000e unused= Other network devices ===================== <none> # ./tools/pci_unbind.py --force --bind=igb_uio 00:19.0 Error: bind failed for 0000:00:19.0 - Cannot bind to driver igb_uio Error: unbind failed for 0000:00:19.0 - Cannot open /sys/bus/pci/drivers//unbind After this, the --status shows this : # ./tools/pci_unbind.py --status Network devices using IGB_UIO driver ==================================== <none> Network devices using kernel driver =================================== <none> Other network devices ===================== 0000:00:19.0 '82579LM Gigabit Network Connection' unused=e1000e My kernel version is 3.5.0-23-generic ( Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS). I heard about an UIO bug in 3.10; is this the same bug i;m hitting? Thanks Jyoti
