I do have Intel 8250 Gigabit Ethernet but run into error in testpmd with DPDK 1.8.0.
Is this a known issue or I might miss something root at debian:/home/jkao/Media/dpdk-1.8.0# tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --status Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver ============================================ 0000:06:04.0 '82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller' drv=igb_uio unused= Network devices using kernel driver =================================== 0000:03:00.0 'RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller' if=eth0 drv=r8169 unused=igb_uio *Active* Other network devices ===================== <none> root at debian:/home/jkao/Media/dpdk-1.8.0# build/app/testpmd -c7 -n3 | more EAL: Detected lcore 0 as core 0 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 1 as core 1 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 2 as core 2 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 3 as core 3 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 4 as core 0 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 5 as core 1 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 6 as core 2 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 7 as core 3 on socket 0 EAL: Support maximum 128 logical core(s) by configuration.
