NGBE Poll Mode Driver
=====================
The NGBE PMD (librte_pmd_ngbe) provides poll mode driver support
for Wangxun 1 Gigabit Ethernet NICs.
Features
--------
- Packet type information
- Link state information
Prerequisites
-------------
- Learning about Wangxun 1 Gigabit Ethernet NICs using
`<https://www.net-swift.com/a/386.html>`_.
- Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup the basic DPDK environment.
Pre-Installation Configuration

Dynamic Logging Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One may leverage EAL option "--log-level" to change default levels
for the log types supported by the driver. The option is used with
an argument typically consisting of two parts separated by a colon.
NGBE PMD provides the following log types available for control:
- ``pmd.net.ngbe.driver`` (default level is **notice**)
Affects driver-wide messages unrelated to any particular devices.
- ``pmd.net.ngbe.init`` (default level is **notice**)
Extra logging of the messages during PMD initialization.
Driver compilation and testing
