So I want to implement a polling mode. You should have a look using the patches at ftp://robur.slu.se:/pub/Linux/net-development/NAPI/eepro100 with a linux kernel 2.4.20 kernel. They may at least serve as a good starting point. 2.4.20 implemented polling in a generic way for any net device that chooses to support it. -- Jason Lunz Reflex Security [email protected] http://www.reflexsecurity.com/
