I'm working on a patch for the tg3 driver for 2.6 Please can you look at this. I'm not too sure about the Kconfig entry as I have not done one before :- -- linux/drivers/net/tg3.c 2003-11-10 18:28:10
It belongs in arch/${ARCH}/Kconfig not drivers/net/Kconfig It's a static property of the architecture, not something the user chooses one way or the other.
Is this OK ? I was not sure about the order should depends be beofre default or the other way round ? or does it matter ? I suspect it does. Thks John -- linux/drivers/net/tg3.c 2003-11-10 18:28:10.0
Why are you depending upon MCKINLEY? Don't all ia64 cpus give traps for unaligned memory accesses? That is what this CONFIG option tells the whole kernel.
Also, this help text is broken too. I repeat: "THIS IS NOT A TIGON3 5701 NETWORK ADAPTER SPECIFIC HACK" It is a config variable that all network drivers in the kernel can test to make copybreak and r

Sorry to nitpick again and not catching it earlier, but are you sure it works this way? Normally the options in Kconfig are not prefixed with CONFIG_* So config UNALIGNED_EXPENSIVE would be likely c

I am seeing a problem with PCI-X recv performance on the Broadcom 5701 cards. This is due to a known PCI-X errata with the DMA engine when buffers are non zero offset aligned. As well as performance
