Answer my own question for future google searches.
Digging through the mlx5 driver source, it looks through the netlink
kernel interface to get details about the hardware. Without access to
the kernel data, DPDK can't init the mlx5 driver.
You need to pass the interface into the container via the ip command

Hi,
I am trying to bring up DPDK tip in Ubuntu 22.10/Docker. When I run
dpdk-testpmd, it doesn't seem to be able to find the Connect X5
interfaces. I get an error "mlx_net: Unable to recognize
master/respresentors on the multiple IB devices."
dpdk-testpmd works fine outside docker.
The command line I am using is
"docker run --privileged --cap-add=ALL -v /sys:/sys -v /dev:/dev"
Thanks!
Chris
