That's fine for experiments, but probably not something that should be in tree. > > The second upcoming submission will add a generic netlink-based > interface for channel data flow and configuration(including receive steering > parameters) on per-channel basis, that will utilize the lower level > implementation from the current patch. Will the driver itself listening to netlink? My feeling would be to teach the stack to use this would require efficient interfaces and netlink isn't particularly. But if it's just a glue module outside the driver that would be reasonable as a first step I guess. Do you also plan to release user tools to use it? -Andi - 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
