However: 1/ We are using rte_ prefix in the code and library names. 2/ The API uses rte_ethdev That's why 16.11 will just have the rte_ prefix prepended to the library filename as every other libraries.

It is voided in 16.07 and will be removed in release 16.11. +* The ethdev library file will be renamed from libethdev.* to librte_ethdev.* + in release 16.11 in order to have a more consistent namespace. + * The ethdev hotplug API is going to be moved to EAL with a notification mechanism added to crypto and ethdev libraries so that hotplug is now available to both of them.
