But I was wondering about two things: I have a 815EE board, which has an onboard eepro100 and a pci eepro100. They share an irq, no matter if I'm using intels e100.o driver or the stock linux one. For performance reasons, can I make them each have a different irq? Doing it from ifconfig gives me a notsupported error, with either driver. Also: VMSTAT output, comparing stock linux driver with intel. Heres the stock linux: 1 0 0 0 31836 67632 13240 0 0 0 0 24015 47215 20 15 65 1 0 0 0 31836 67632 13240 0 0 0 1 24016 47016 21 16 64 The card is recv'ng 24k packets per second, and seeing that many irqs. The intel driver does 6 per irq, and vmstat from that driver (not posted, but I remember what it was) shows 6 times less irq/sec and cs/sec. Even though, it appears the stock linux driver is supposed to do 20 things per irq? I am no kernel hacker...can I get the stock linux driver to do multiple packets per irq with some config settings?
