[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/6] usertools/setup: remove inserting custom kernel modules

Ferruh Yigit ferruh.yigit at intel.com
Wed Nov 25 20:19:04 CET 2020


Custom DPDK kernel module insert support relies on make based build
variable 'RTE_TARGET' to find the location of the kernel modules, which
is not valid anymore.

Also 'igb_uio' kernel module moved to another git repository:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-kmods/
