[dpdk-dev] Pcap question

Hi Olivier, I guess something is still wrong: testpmd application is reporting "PMD: pcap library cannot send packets, please rebuild with a more up to date libpcap" message when I try creating a bridge between two network cards. I am more than sure that older version of pcap is not installed:

[dpdk-dev] Which vmxnet3 pmd is to be used in dpdk 1.6.x?

Hi David, The compilation error with debug flags on was that the functions -- vmxnet3_txq_dump, vmxnet3_rxq_dump - are defined but not used. Not a serious error, I will try to get rid of the compiler flag which generates this. However, I must reiterate, I _did_ bind my vmxnet3 device with igb_u

[dpdk-dev] Which vmxnet3 pmd is to be used in dpdk 1.6.x?

Hi, I am also keen to know the answer to the question posted by Srini. The real question is -- is dpdk1.6.0r1 self-sufficient so that I don't need any extensions etc., or do I still need something from outside like the usermap kernel driver etc. Secondly, if I turn on all the debug options for

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] igb_uio: don't bind vmxnet3 and virtio devices if disabled

When not using vmxnet3-uio and virtio-uio PMDs, prevent igb_uio from binding these devices. This way, vmxnet3 and virtio PMDs won't fail to initialize because of a device silently bound to igb_uio. Signed-off-by: David Marchand --- lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/igb_uio/igb_uio.c |4 1 file ch

Here is a patch to building DPDK 1.6 on RHEL 6 kernels. It's similar to the issue below. The kernel version check really only applies to vanilla kernels - for commercial distributions it's common for features from later kernels to be backported. Should we be using autoconf or something to
