napatech error message

[gmo...@gmail.com]

Hi all, using TRex 2.44 on Ubuntu 18.04 there are error messages with Napatech that is not installed.
We are using Intel Gigabit chipset I210. TRex is working nice but we were looking at a way to avoid the Napatech error messages:

<code>
sudo ./t-rex-64 -i -c 2

Hi,

Thanks for notifying.

Could you attach output of "sudo lspci -mm"?

Thanks,

Yaroslav.

Thanks, will be fixed in next version.

You can use dirty hack for now:

Edit dpdk_nic_bind.py file, give some dummy value to this variable:

NAPATECH_CLASS

The current value is already:

NAPATECH_CLASS = "0280"

Hi,

Please change the value to some garbage.

It was taken as Napatech only in some pull request, but it's not only Napatech, it's "Network controller", and you have it in your system.

In next release we will have more strict check for Napatech NICs.

Thanks,

Yaroslav

Right, the workaround is working.
