Whoops, I didn't address this error.  Does your interface_capabilities table
have something like this for the netfpga interface type?  That is the most
likely src of problem here...

mysql> select * from interface_capabilities where type='nf2';
+------+-------------------+----------+
| type | capkey            | capval   |
+------+-------------------+----------+
| nf2  | ethernet_defspeed | 1000000  |
| nf2  | protocols         | ethernet |
+------+-------------------+----------+

My fault.  For subnode hosts, I see that the parser adds a 1.0-weight desire
for a feature named "hosts-$type" -- where type is the subnode type -- in your
case, "netfpga".  So yes, you will need to add that feature as I described in
the earlier mail.
