I have the latest documentation so I may be able to help you, but I can't give you the docs. We hoped that with dual-channel NIC we could be able to just move the received frame from one port for TX on another port, to overcome the 32-bit PCI bus speed limitation, to get better thoroughput with GigE. Bill Paul already explained in private that they are actually two distinct SRAMs, and the operation we needed is not supported (without PCI involved). Thanks to everyone who replied!
