Hello everyone,
I am a graduate student in Middle East Technical University and I am working
on an industrial ethernet protocol that will run over ethernet in my thesis.
In the implementation of this protocol, I need to send and receive ethernet
packets as quick as possible. So I am planning to use directly the driver
functions instead of Linux's socket structure.
I guess "e1000_xmit_frame" function will do the job for transmitting. But I
could not find how to receive packets directly from the driver, since I am
inexperienced in Linux.
I am using 2.6.31.12 Linux kernel with OSADL's RT-preempt patch - rt21-0.1.
The ethernet controller in my setup is Intel 82574L GbE.
I would be grateful if anyone can briefly explain how I could receive
packets directly from the driver. Also I would be thankful for any kind of
comments.
Thank you,
Korhan
