Overview

Adds support for three new Intel and Realtek Ethernet network drivers (igc, e1000e, r8169) to the grout build system.

Changes

meson.build: Updated the libdpdk dependency configuration to include three additional network drivers in the enable_drivers option:

• net/igc (Intel Gigabit Ethernet Controller)
• net/e1000e (Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet)
• net/r8169 (Realtek 8169 Gigabit Ethernet)

These drivers are now compiled as part of the DPDK library used by grout, enabling support for these physical network interfaces at the datapath layer.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates the meson build configuration for the libdpdk dependency, specifically modifying the enable_drivers list on line 75 of meson.build. The change adds three additional network drivers—net/igc, net/e1000e, and net/r8169—to the driver set and reorders the existing driver entries. This expands the network driver support available during DPDK build compilation with the specified fallback configuration.

I don't actually know how to change a commit message in the github webinterface.
It is probably less effort for you to change the single line directly instead of guiding us through. Sorry, didn't mean to cause unnecessary work with this PR.

No worries. I didn't realize you had sent this over the web interface. I'll send another PR.
