I think it's better to put this on the backburner for now :-) We could achieve all of this if we start from the bottom and work our way up. Although there are many variations, the logic drivers use to use skb_reserve() to align the receive header tends to take on a certain pattern. We could pull that out into a common piece of code and then make it ensure 64-bit alignment without a lot of pain. The hard part of the work will be handling the cases that don't fit the pattern, and don't forget about NET_IP_ALIGN :-) - 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
