Please do note that I happened to find that openvswitch rebuilt fine as well but there ppc is not enabled for DPDK. See: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch/2.6.1-0ubuntu4 There was no bug about that, so no one considered enabling that as well so far. If you want/need that as well

Thank you Pradeep, Thanks for the clarification about the MLX drivers. I'm a bit afraid that this will just be another drop on spinning the "mlx-often-broken-by-being-too-special" wheel instead of once getting them upstream for real and by that to "just work". But that is a debate outside of
