Hello:

=20

How can I configure my NIC setting(s) when loaded with the dpdk:igb_uio dri=
ver?

E.g I need to keep the MAC address and the IP address of the NIC the "same =
as before" after switching to a dpdk:igb_uio driver for the NIC.

=20

Is there a equiv of "ifconfig" utility in dpdk?

How do I address the NIC? I can only view the status using the dpdk_nic_bin=
d.py!!!

Thanks
