Here comes a new serie of r8169 related patches which should allow the motivated users to experiment new features, namely: - Rx/Tx checksum offload; - vlan support; - better ethtool integration. Tx code apart, the changes exhibit some strong similarity with the 8139cp driver. I have not done vlan-dedicated test and there are no figures to highlight any performance improvement. The code does not crash in a (really slow) debug enabled -mm kernel and it does not seem to add huge leak. Remarks/comments/test reports welcome. -- Ueimor |
