Related question: are there any 100Mbit NICs with cpu's onboard? Something mainstream/affordable?(i.e. not 1G ethernet) Just recently someone posted asking some technical question about ARMlinux for and intel card with 2 1G ports, 8 100M ports, an onboard ARM cpu and 4 other uControllers... seems to me that ultimately the networking code should go in that direction: immagine having the *NIC* do most of this... no cache pollution problems... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
