Should work since the differences are mainly the interfaces.

Two versions are available:
* 82599EB - PCI Express* (PCIe*) 2.0, dual port 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller for
XAUI, KX, KX4, BX, BX4 and CX4 interfaces.
* 82599ES - Serial 10 GbE backplane interface for blade implementations (includes
the 82599EB SKU functionality plus KR and SFI interfaces).
>From the data sheet

1.2 Product Overview
The 82599 is a derivative of previous generations of Intel 1 GbE and 10 GbE Network
Interface Card (NIC) designs. Many features of its predecessors remain intact; however,
some have been removed or modified as well as new features introduced.
Note: This device is available in dual port and single port variants. The single port
device is limited to port 0 and to the SFI interface. If you are using the
single port device, information in this document pertaining to port 1 and
other interfaces does not apply.
Note: For addition information, see the introductory material in the Intel(r) 82599
10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller Specification Update.

Hi,

Could somebody advise if this NIC would work with DPDK.

It mentions 82599ES, so far I have been working with 82599EB.
