People who want top performance should not put a networking card into their machine that can only DMA packets to 32-byte or whatever boundaries. That's exactly the limitation NS83820 has and therefore why it should be avoided like the plague by performance conscious folks. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Tue Sep 23 20:26:58 2003
