We are thinking of sending packet in "bursts" instead of single
transfers. The only problem is to let the NIC know that there are more
than a packet in a burst...

Jamal implemented exactly this for e1000 already, he might be persuaded
into posting his patch here.  Jamal? :)

I guess that saying that we are _very_ interested in this might help.
:-)
We can offer as "beta-testers" as well...

Sorry missed this (I wasnt CCed so it went to a low priority queue which
i read on a best effort basis).
Let me clean up the patches a little bit this weekend. The patch is at
least 4 months old; latest reincarnation was due to issue1 on my SUCON
presentation. Would a patch against latest 2.6.x bitkeeper (whatever it
is this weekend) be fine? If you are in a rush and dont mind a little
ugliness then i will pass them as is.

We'll be glad to spend some time trying this out. Please, we are not
very confortable with the linux bitkeeper maintenance method. Can we ask
you to provide us a patch to a standard kernel/driver (whatever you
prefer...)? Also a complete source sub-tree would be ok ;-)

BTW, Scott posted a interesting patch yesterday, you may wanna give that
a shot as well. 

We're trying that out right now... (which means, that in a couple of
days, we'll try it ;-))

Thanks a lot.
