No. Please use Device Manager for now.

The application must link the needed libraries and PMDs when building. 
These files must be in PATH or in the working directory when running the 
application. Loading additional PMDs with "-d" EAL option is not yet 
implemented. If you have a custom PMD you have to build it as a part of 
DPDK and link to your application.


P. S. Questions like these belong to users at dpdk.org. Keeping in dev@ to 
avoid breaking threads.
