[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/1] net/mlx5: fix device probing for old kernel drivers

Retrieving network interface index via Netlink fails in case of old ib_core kernel driver installed - mlx5_nl_ifindex() routine fails due to RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_NDEV_INDEX attribute is not supported by the old driver. The patch allowing to retrieve the network interface index and name via Netlink [1].
