[dpdk-dev] KNI ethtool related question

2014-10-10 Thread Harish Patil
Hello, I would like to use KNI interface *only* for the ethtool/ifconfig support, not for the data packets movement into and from the kernel. For the fast path, I would like to use PMD. Is this doable? What are the other options for a PMD driver to support standard linux utilities? Thanks in adv.,
