[dpdk-dev] Fwd: ixgbe network card has dev_info.max_rx_queues == 0

[Sergey Mironov]

Yep, I understand now. The manual [1] says that intel 827574
controller (controlled by e1000 driver) has only 2 ports per port.
Thanks for the help.

PS
I actually have another machine SCB-8973 equipped with i211
controller, where DPDK returns number of queues - zero. Probably, it
is a hardware bug, but I'll better start another thread for this
issue.
