Hi, I wrote a little patch for you. You can apply it to the current dpdk-master branch and test it. My Thinkpad T430 has such a NIC and shows some rx packets and the link status change with the patch, when using testpmd. Maybe 82579LM was not supported for a reason, so simply try out if it works for your purpose :)
