Re: Request for Information

Brian,
 Partially you are wrong and partially you are right. This is a sort of
assignment to me , but not as part of graduation. I am a newly joined
software engineer trainee.
 Past few weeks , 'm working on resource efficient way of passing data on to
the other side. Layer 2 device driver is too much for me. Well i think i
should sit back, relax and explore more.
 I checked out the idea of capturing data in module and passing it on to
user space for transmission. But that is a both time and resource consuming.
Correct me if I am wrong.
 May be Mr. Brian view is true. He wants me to explore more of those stuffs
to myself.
 Thanks for your suggestions ---
Will try and explore --- for sure.
