The dpdk package supports both driver types in /etc/dpdk/interfaces - when you declare an adapter for use, you get to specify the module you want to use as well; we're relying the in-tree kernel drivers (uio-pci-generic and vfio-pci) right now. > > > Anyway yes I hope to check it out and seeing what ye have done.
