VPP_VAGRANT_NICS disappear after "vagrant halt" or "vagrant reload"

More than likely if you've added a NIC via the above env variable, its ended up an orphan after a "vagrant reload".

(many thanks for Damjan Marion for his help)

Sympton:

• "ip -o a" doesn't show any "ethx" type interfaces other than "eth0" mgmt
• on VPP startup (assuming emacs gud-gdb) you see:

 EAL: PCI device 0000:00:03.0 on NUMA socket -1
 EAL:   probe driver: 8086:100e rte_em_pmd
 EAL:   Device is blacklisted, not initializing
 EAL: PCI device 0000:00:08.0 on NUMA socket -1
 EAL:   probe driver: 8086:100e rte_em_pmd
 EAL:   Not managed by a supported kernel driver, skipped

Fix:

• Don't Panic - there is no need to "reboot" or "vagrant reload --provision"
• Do following:

 sudo su

If that doesn't work break out the sledgehammer:
