If you go down this path, please add a standard performance monitoring method to query the current capacity of an interface. It is frustrating to report "eth0 is handling 1 Megabyte/second, but we cannot tell if that is 90% (10BaseT) or 9% (100BaseT) utilization". We should report capacity rather than speed because speed alone is not the controlling factor, other things like half or full duplex affect the capacity. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
