Compatible with vmxnet3?

[huanweisu]

Hi, I follow the instruction to install DPDK(17.05) and dpdkcap(develop branch), could not start dpdkcap normally, after I turn on the DEBUG on $RTE_TARGET/.config and --log-level 8, hear is the error message. I saw the Device activation: UNSUCCESSFUL so I am wondering does it work on vmxnet3(ESXi 5.5)? thanks.

sudo build/dpdkcap -c 0x07 -n 2 --log-level 8

No idea what is happening, but may be linked to #31

Closing this since there have not been updates to this issue in a long time and it is about really old versions of DPDK / dpdkcap.
