Hi all,
Please see attached and below a patch which allowed Pktgen to run on
my laptop which has a built in Intel 82579LM 1G NIC:

Hi Stephen,
That has worked! Yes this is a working NIC built into a laptop.
bensley@ubuntu-laptop:/opt/dpdk/dpdk-17.08/drivers/net/e1000$ lspci
-nn | grep Eth
00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit
Network Connection [8086:1502] (rev 04)
bensley@ubuntu-laptop:/opt/dpdk/dpdk-17.08/drivers/net/e1000$ grep -r 1502 *
base/e1000_hw.h:#define E1000_DEV_ID_PCH2_LV_LM 0x1502
^ This PCI-id is alread "known" but not mapped to the driver so I just
added the two lines to em_ethdev.c below, recompiled DPDK and Pktgen
and it works...

Thanks very much for your help!
Cheers,
James.
It would be good if you could send a full patch to dev@dpdk.org
