Hello guys,
I have seen that for ethtool, it is possible to change rx-usecs or
rx-frames of the NIC to control the interrupt frequency.

I intend to minimize the idle times between the packet rx and packet
processing by the cpu, so I am trying 2 alternatives:

1) Find a way to set up the interrupt frequency by setting the number of
packets (or time passed) before the netcard generates the interrupt; is
this possible?

2) Disabling power saving (since I see it has consequences on interrupt
handling), but it seems it is not supported in AP mode. Is there a way
to achieve this?

I have been googling for the topic without success...

Thank you!!

Guido
