[dpdk-users] Not able to detect Intel EC I218-V (rev 03)

[Lu, Wenzhuo]

Hi Thomas, Nagaprabhanjan,
The base code has been updated, but some job is still left to support these NICs. Ravi has created a new patch set to complete it. Ravi can send it soon. Please wait a while and use the new patch set.

Hi Ravi,
As we talked, please send your patch to dpdk.org. Thanks a lot ☺

Best regards
Wenzhuo Lu

Hi Thomas,

I am working with Wenzhou on this patch since last week and the patch is now reviewed by Wenzhou. Let us know if we should resend the patch to dpdk.org<http://dpdk.org>?

Thanks,
Ravi

Maybe Ravi would be glad to help you offline to check this patch.

Wenzhuo, we should try to integrate this patch please.
Do you have some news explaining the delay for supporting this NIC?
