Retrieving network interface index via Netlink fails in case of old mlx5 kernel drivers installedCan you put a boundary on this statement with a kernel driver version? Dave

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/1] net/mlx5: fix device probing for old kernel drivers

Retrieving network interface index via Netlink fails in case of old mlx5 kernel drivers installed - mlx5_nl_ifindex() routine fails due to wrong Netlink reply message sent by the old drivers. This error was ignored in previous versions of probing. For single devices ifindex was retrieved via sysfs
