It sure is more complete, and looks nicer, but the price is IMHO too high. I'm curious what those serious issues are, and if they can't be fixed. > As for why SROG, because trying to stick all the semantics needed for > all skb operations into the old approach was nasty, I had it almost > complete but it was horror (and more code than the SROG approach). What was missing or wrong in the old approach? Can't you use the new approach, but use alloc_pages() instead of SROG? Sorry if I bug you so, but I'm also trying to increase my knowledge here. ;-) Greetings, Indan - 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
