Hi, I managed to debug further and noticed that *pmd_pcap_drv* is not loaded on our application, which is available in test-pmd when the attach is called from secondary application dpdk-pdump
How do I enable the pmd_pcap_drv in vdev ? We have done rte_pdump_init as suggested by the DPDK documentation. Am I missing some init ?
