Please stop being a smug. We are not going to expose here 4965's HW or FW architecture. [did you think about the theoretical possibility that 240Mbps HW may handle its RX data path not purely by FW SW?]. Currently we don't have any magic solution for that. The right solution here is as Linus suggested. Align the data for CPUs that can't handle unaligned access _only_. Guy. > > -- > Greetings Michael.
