Subject: Writing driver for a net device which does not support interrupt
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2015 18:51:51 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <550FF047.90103@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi list,

I'm writing a net device driver for my final project in college. But the
half-finished device doesn't support interrupt yet(those hardware guys...)

So I'm wondering if there is some way to poll the device for its status
and events.

Google tells me 'NAPI' uses a polling mechanism, but it still needs
hardware interrupt support :(

Any suggestions?


Thanks
Freeman
