Scott,
Sorry to bother you again. I am still trying to evaluate whether i
should go and grab these patches from the unconnected machine.
In other words, they may not be useful for you.
Is this a proprieatry stack, something you are researching. what?
How do you pass the packets from user space straight to DMA?

cheers,
jamal
