i did not say it because it will work without any extra effort: - the netmap version i committed a few days ago already fetch the number of queues and the ring sizes at runtime; - ethtool (or whatever we will call it) only operates on the configuration/control plane (number of queues and slots, partitioning of packets onto input queues, etc.), whereas netmap operates only on the data plane cheers luigi _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
