This device is known but not supported.

You should use
	# grep 'RTE_PCI_DEV_ID_DECL.*8254' lib/librte_eal/common/include/rte_pci_dev_ids.h
	RTE_PCI_DEV_ID_DECL_EM(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, E1000_DEV_ID_82540EM)
	RTE_PCI_DEV_ID_DECL_EM(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, E1000_DEV_ID_82545EM_COPPER)
	RTE_PCI_DEV_ID_DECL_EM(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, E1000_DEV_ID_82545EM_FIBER)
	RTE_PCI_DEV_ID_DECL_EM(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, E1000_DEV_ID_82546EB_COPPER)
	RTE_PCI_DEV_ID_DECL_EM(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, E1000_DEV_ID_82546EB_FIBER)
	RTE_PCI_DEV_ID_DECL_EM(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, E1000_DEV_ID_82546EB_QUAD_COPPER)

The dedicated page for this information is:
	http://dpdk.org/doc/nics

You should try to enable this device in the code and see what happens.
Maybe that its support is straightforward.

Thanks for reporting
