I guess, Kumar is asking for support for several Tx queues with different
priorities. One need to start/stop these queues separately. This is dictated
by presense of different priorities on physical layer.


Kumar, is it 802.11? WME or TGE?

I'm not sure what WME or TGE stand for, we are looking at a gig-e controller.



Vladimir.

Jeff,

I was wondering if there was any support for handling ethernet devices
that support multiple RX/TX queues to provide QoS. If so any pointers
would be great.

IIRC skb->priority provides priority bands for TX. Not sure about RX...
jamal?

The question was very ambigous. What is it that Kumar is looking for? Is it 802.1p, IP level etc?

cheers,
jamal
