[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] net/nfb: new netcope driver

[Rastislav Černay]

Typically device works in promiscuous mode and filtering/processing is done
after
packets are received, use of MACS is a marginal case so we are not exactly
focused
on it. I will add random ethernet address so card can work in initial state
with multiple
devices.
