Hello All,

Hopefully this is the correct place to post questions.  I am a brand new
users of DPDK and I am having issues starting the i40e PMD.  I get the
following error message when I start any of the test applications:

PMD: eth_i40e_dev_init(): FW 0.0 API 0.0 NVM 04.02.04 eetrack 800013fc
PMD: i40e_pf_parameter_init(): Max supported VSIs:0
PMD: i40e_pf_parameter_init(): PF queue pairs:1
PMD: i40e_pf_parameter_init(): VSI/QUEUE setting can't be satisfied
PMD: i40e_pf_parameter_init(): Max VSIs: 0, asked:0
PMD: i40e_pf_parameter_init(): Total queue pairs:0, asked:1
PMD: eth_i40e_dev_init(): Failed to do parameter init: -22
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1
  Cause: Requested device 0000:04:00.0 cannot be used

I get the same error binding the device to the uio_pci_generic or igb_uio
driver.

My setup:

CentOS 6.6 running kernel 3.18.12-11.el6.x86_64
DPDK version 2.1.0
Intel XL710 dual port NIC

Any help would be appreciated.
