Hi David,

Here is the output of lscpi after NICs after the are configured for DPDK:

Michal,

    Could you post up the output of 'lspci -v' for the two cards?
('lspci -v -s 18:00' and 'lspci -v -s 24:00' should do it).
I'm interested in the "Memory at" output.

I'm using a board here with some i211's with Ubuntu 16.04 and DPDK
16.11.1. All OK so far with igb_uio and helloworld.

Regards,
Dave.
