I'm not yet sure how to do it best. The trivial way is really trivial, allocate a set of 1536-byte buffers and make a swap+copy on RX and TX, but I want to investigate the data-coherent approach first. > Do you need access to ixp4xx that starts in LE mode? No, I have a nice experimental machine so there is no problem with that. I'd have to recompile my tools (GNU suite and rest of the system) LE, but it's a simple thing, too. I just want to have the functional drivers in the tree and only then improve them. Doing all the work in a single step is just impossible, the target moves way too fast (at least for my limited time budget). -- Krzysztof Halasa
