[dpdk-users] Should netvsc and Debian 10 work?

[Chas Williams]

I am trying to get netvsc to work with Debian 10. Following along in the 
instructions I have:

     # cat setup
     modprobe uio_hv_generic
     echo -n 57b2866a-61b8-400e-ac8f-32373f9c42a3 > 
/sys/bus/vmbus/drivers/uio_hv_generic/new_id
     echo -n 57b2866a-61b8-400e-ac8f-32373f9c42a3 > 
/sys/bus/vmbus/drivers/hv_netvsc/unbind
     echo -n 57b2866a-61b8-400e-ac8f-32373f9c42a3 > 
/sys/bus/vmbus/drivers/uio_hv_generic/bind

But this fails during the bind stage with "No such device":

     setup: line 4: echo: write error: No such device

The kernel in Debian 10 is

Linux debian10 4.19.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.28-2 (2019-03-15) 
x86_64 GNU/Linux

This is a generation 1 virtual machine.
