Hi Everyone,
I am now doing some experiments on Dual CPU (2.4Ghz) with 2 Gigabit
cards. Can anyone tell me how to bound one CPU to each NIC so that we don't
need to care about the packet-reordering and the interrupt sharing problems?
Thank you very much.:)
My experiments show you will still get re-ordered packets occasionally
(but then again, I'm having other wierd problems, so maybe you wont).

I will be interested to hear of your results, as I have been having
heating problems with e1000 and other problems with tg3 based nics!
