I have considered that. I have PCI walking code like in tg3 to determine if certain tg3 devices are behind some ICH or ServerWorks EPB bridges. The workaround needed in those cases have big impact on performance and therefore it is important to determine exactly when to apply those workarounds. Here in this case, since the difference in performance between MSI and INTA is very minor and almost negligible in a lot of cases, I decided to keep it simple and just check for the presence of the 8132. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
