Hi,

> I am trying to get the ige native driver(that is mentioned in the
release notes for vpp 26.02) working on a small Intel PC with I225-V
NICs.

I can't seem to figure out how to use it. I can't create any
interfaces with it, regardless if the NICs are bound in the kernel or
not.

I do not have experience with the ige driver, but here are rough guidelines:
The interface should be bound to vfio-pci (you can use eg. the 
extras/scripts/pci-nic-bind script). You can check it is properly associated 
with "vppctl show pci".
Then you should check if the driver is properly loaded: "vppctl show device 
drivers".
If both is true, then you can configure the device with something like "vppctl 
device attach pci/0000:03:00.0 driver ige".
You can enable debug logs with "vppctl set logging class dev level debug 
syslog-level debug" and "vppctl set logging class ige level debug syslog-level 
debug" and then check with "vppctl show log".

best
