It adds the layer as a generic interface for any DCB-capable device through the netdevice. This patchset also includes an implementation using this interface in the ixgbe driver. It adds the hardware-specific code to turn the interface on, and includes the netlink callbacks in the driver to perform the requested operations. These patches are targeted at the net-next-2.6 tree, for 2.6.27. The patch series is as follows: patch 1: DCB netlink interface in-kernel patch 2: ixgbe DCB hardware-specific patches patch 3: enable DCB in ixgbe Thanks, -- PJ Waskiewicz
