Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc/devbind: remove references to igb_uio
Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2020 20:38:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200906033846.24686-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
We should be encouraging the use of vfio_pci for developers, not telling
them to use igb_uio.
Also fix typo where .py suffix is visible in document.
