Let's say I want to re-enable the net/kni driver. How should I do this? Passing -Denable_drivers=net/kni results in only getting net/kni. Passing -Denable_drivers=*/* gives the same result as passing none: net/kni is disabled because relying on a deprecated lib. > > NOTE: This is part of the deprecation process for KNI agreed by the DPDK > technical board.[1] > > [1] http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2022-June/243596.html > > Signed-off-by: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richard...@intel.com> -- David Marchand
