[dpdk-users] Compile DPDK 17.11 with Mellanox NIC support

[george.dit at gmail.com]

Hi Hui,

Yes it works after updating to OFED 4.2. I have a physical 100G NIC that
uses mlnx5.

Regards,
Georgios

George,

So using OFED and its upstream libraries with DPDK 17.11 works for you?

Are you running DPDK on VM or with a physical NIC from MLNX?
