Which property can help to distinguish Napatech ports?
Can you use class=eth,dev_port=X ?
The dev_port property will use /sys/class/net/DEV/dev_port on Linux. Is it
OK for you?
Actually, what we were thinking of was using the mac property in the class
category to distinguish our ports.
For instance:
-w bus=pci,id=0000:01:00.0/class=eth,mac=00:11:22:33:44:55
or simply:
-w class=eth,mac=00:11:22:33:44:55
We will not be able to support the dev_port property, that will not work for us.
At least not for now.

Finn
