I've been working on polling for the FreeBSD ath wireless driver. On slow CPU's polling helps prevent (by supressing certain interrupts) livelock and increases throughput. This is true of Atheros cards on Soekris and other embedded hardware. Just thought I'd post something here in case anyone is interested in helping with insight, code or testing. I've got a rough (and mostly working) patch. There are some locking issues to contend with... Cheers, Nate
