I was thinking the same thing...although it appears forcedeth already supports NAPI... What does this offer over the NAPI support? John -- John W. Linville linville@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yes, thats right. I just gave Manfred the hardware interrupt mitigation patch (v46). Next, I will implement NAPI. FWIW the ideal is to implement both NAPI -and- hardware interrupt mitigation. Jeff
