Unable to build igb_uio

[David Aldrich]

Hi Stephen and Oleksandr

Thanks for your replies.

I guess the documentation I'm looking at is out-of-date, but the
Broadcom app note I'm looking at suggests testing with testpmd, but
first binding with:

usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio <PCI Device ID>

Given igb_uio is deprecated, is this binding step still required and,
if so, what parameters are now required?

Best regards
David
