 > So will each new NIC implement some parts of TCP stack in theirs drivers?

I hope not.  The driver we merged (amso1100) did it completely in FW,
with a separate MAC and IP interface for the RDMA connections.  I
think we better understand the Chelsio driver pretty well and think it
over carefully before we merge it.

Thanks for pointing this stuff out.
