I thought a number of drivers handled tx from napi while receives were happening, but went to plain interrupts if no receives were happening. Maybe I misread the code (I have mainly dealt with pcnet32 so far). Certainly for gigabit I would think napi all the time would be much more efficient. -- Len Sorensen - 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
