The current forcedeth driver doesn't support interrupt mitigation, this can result in an incredible number of interrupts/sec for gigabit links. The attached patch adds a throughput mode that enables an interrupt mitigation scheme.Naïve question: what about the NAPI way ?
I was thinking the same thing...although it appears forcedeth already supports NAPI... What does this offer over the NAPI support? John -- John W. Linville linville@tuxdriver.com
