Subject: eepro100 and zero copy transmit

Are there any plans to add zero copy transmit support to the eepro100
driver?

In looking at the archives from a year or so ago, I noticed that at
that time there was
no support in the driver because of difficulties in identifying which
cards have the
necessary hardware csum and scatter/gather support. Is this still the
problem?

If there are no plans to add this to eepro100.c, does anyone know if
the Intel
provided driver in addon/e100 will be supporting this soon?

Thanks,

Dave Rorke

There is code in the 2.5.7 e100 driver, if you define E100_ZEROCOPY. I
don't know if the code works though.
