Hello,

I need to ask for another clarification. If I have DNA drivers and use
adapters_to_enable it enables DNA only for specified NIC. But what
happens with other network cards? Do they work as PF_RING aware driver?

For example I have

/sbin/insmod /usr/local/modules/ixgbe.ko
adapters_to_enable=90:e2:ba:37:13:02 allow_unsupported_sfp=1 MQ=0

And looking into proc:

root@isildur:~# cat /proc/net/pf_ring/dev/dna0/info
Name:              dna0
Index:             9
Address:           90:E2:BA:37:13:02
Polling Mode:      DNA
Type:              Ethernet
Family:            Intel ixgbe 82599
Max # TX Queues:   1
# Used RX Queues:  1

root@isildur:~# cat /proc/net/pf_ring/dev/ten0/info
Name:              ten0
Index:             10
Address:           6C:B3:11:3B:21:A8
Polling Mode:      NAPI/TNAPI
Type:              Ethernet
Family:            Intel 82599
# Bound Sockets:   0
Max # TX Queues:   16
# Used RX Queues:  16

So NAPI/TNAPI means it works as classic Linux device (non-PF_RING-aware)?

Another question - if we would switch to PF_RING ZC - will applications
written for PF_RING (for example WANguard) work fine?

Thank you!

Thanks!
