It is detected, but according following log ports are not enabled by
proper application (not eal) command line argument:
"   Cause: All available ports are disabled. Please set portmask."

./examples/l2fwd/build/l2fwd [EAL options] -- -p PORTMASK [-q NQ]
  -p PORTMASK: hexadecimal bitmask of ports to configure
  -q NQ: number of queue (=ports) per lcore (default is 1)
  -T PERIOD: statistics will be refreshed each PERIOD seconds (0 to
disable, 10 default, 86400 maximum)
  --[no-]mac-updating: Enable or disable MAC addresses updating (enabled
by default)
      When enabled:
       - The source MAC address is replaced by the TX port MAC address
       - The destination MAC address is replaced by
02:00:00:00:00:TX_PORT_ID
