in a case like this I'd suggest just using the latest firmware for the card. In my experience, major issues with using different firmware versions with DPDK are relatively rare, so you should be ok with a different version, even if it's not one we have explicitly validated. If you do encounter any issues, please log a defect in DPDK bugzilla so we can investigate. Regards, /Bruce
