Hi folks,
I found myself last week wanting to do simple testing with DPDK, but did
not possess the supported hardware and neither was the supported
hardware emulated by any virtual machine I could place my hands on. I
ended up hacking enough support for 82540 into DPDK to get simple
packetflows going from Linux running in a VM.
In case someone has similar needs, I've put the driver up on github. The
driver development method was "copypaste + mangle just enough bits to
get packets flowing", so it's not advisable to use the driver for
anything apart from virtual machine testing. In case there are a lot of
similar needs within the community, maybe the driver can even be
polished up and integrated into DPDK.
