How to change default NIC in VMware workstation player
by athithanvijay from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5ETTM)
Hi,
I have been exploring DPDK 19.xx for a firewall use case*demo.
I struggle to test DPDK applications as my laptop NIC is not supported by DPDK. Then I used a VMware workstation player where host OS is Windows10 and guest OS is Ubuntu 16.xx. In VM I get e1000 (* Intel Corporation 82540EM) as ethernet controller.*
I get I/O error when I try to run DPDK applications as there is known limitation on using* Intel Corporation 82540EM based on one of the references.
Is there way to change e1000-82540EM*into other supported NIC in vm workstation player ?
I have done binding NIC with DPDK drivers. But I lack DPDK supported physical NIC. But not sure to bring right virtual NIC.
Would be great if someone provides guidance
