Hi Mark,
I’ve seen similar issues in environments involving digital transformation and ERP implementation, where network performance and customization are crucial for system success. The DPDK setup with the X410 and E810 NIC, particularly on Ubuntu 22.04, can indeed be challenging with the ICE driver and vfio-pci binding.
To address this, one approach is to first confirm compatibility and dependencies between the DPDK and ICE driver versions you’re using, as mismatches often lead to the NIC not appearing. It might also be worth exploring any updated DPDK patches or community-recommended configurations specific to the E810, as Intel occasionally releases updates addressing such driver compatibility.
For the port disappearing after dpdk-devbind.py, this is expected because binding to vfio-pci essentially detaches it from the kernel. In some cases, configuring the NIC with custom dpdk-devargs during binding helps to make the device discoverable by DPDK applications. Additionally, you may consider rechecking the ice driver documentation on configuration specifics for E810, as Intel’s guidance sometimes requires special steps for high-performance applications in FPGA environments like yours.
Hopefully, these adjustments will help stabilize your setup! Let us know how it goes.

For the port disappearing after `dpdk-devbind.py`, this is expected because binding to `vfio-pci` essentially detaches it from the kernel. In some cases, configuring the NIC with custom `dpdk-devargs` during binding helps to make the device discoverable by DPDK applications. Additionally, you may consider rechecking the `ice` driver documentation on configuration specifics for E810, as Intel’s guidance sometimes requires special steps for high-performance applications in FPGA environments like yours.
Hopefully, these adjustments will help stabilize your setup! Let us know how it goes.
