netmap/pkt-gen error

[Khan]

hi again,
i tired with v9.1RC1 but i still get the same error.

does Netmap support Broadcom interfaces??
the supported interfaces on man page of netmap
are em, ixgbe,re (only intel cards)..

Is there some work going on regarding other nic's.

How can i still use pkt-gen to send/receive pkts.?
any idea on how to run on virtualbox machine that
might have an em driver??

man netmap (on 9.1-RC1 or 8.3) says:

SUPPORTED INTERFACES
     netmap supports the following interfaces: em(4), ixgbe(4), re(4),

so it seems the interface card bge is not supported by netmap and
you should probably try 9.1-RC1 instead of 9.0.

On 9.0 I did not find the netmap man page.
