If a modern NIC doesn't support TSO in hardware, it deserves to be outlawed :-) On a more serious note, I'm all in for stateless offloads but I think that dropping stack support for adapters that don't implement TSO, etc (either in hardware or in the driver) is a pretty long shot - someone will have to update all the legacy drivers out there. But if this is what you want to do in the future, you should go ahead and take my waiver offer, just to have a peace of mind. - 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
