LRO requires no software support, so I wonder why people keep saying there are software patent issues wrt. LRO.

I feel like I've stated this at least 3 times already. :-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
