I'm looking into extending the gianfar driver to make use of multiple rx (and maybe tx) queues. I've started to read the gianfar source, the Freescale docs and netdev. Has anyone done this already? My interest is in LAN network QOS, primarily selective discard under overload. I'm thinking that I'll create several vlans in my network and do a strict vlan priority bit based servicing. I'm also poking at the multi-queue work that has been done and wondering how that might fit into a solution. I haven't read the e1000 multiqueue driver yet... Any tips, flames or code? Thanks, // Randy
