To my limited understanding, in a NAPI polling function, one should use 
netif_receive_skb, rather than netif_rx.  However, the via-velocity driver 
defines the NAPI polling function velocity_poll, which is the only caller 
of velocity_rx_srv, which is the only caller of velocity_receive_frame, 
which calls netif_rx.  The call to netif_rx seems to predate the 
introduction of NAPI in this driver.  Is this correct?

thanks,
julia
