hi, folks,

I am revising a driver for a network interface. I need have a fine-grain
timer (33us). Could anyone tell me how to get it?

I checked /sys/kern/kern_clock.c. Is it the right place?

Could I just revise 'hz' to make the timeout function to do it? Where does
'hz' is initialized?

I got a response from misc news list, which warns me never try to change
'hz' over 1000. It means the resolution of the timer is 1ms. But I need
33us timer. ANy inputs?

thanks for your help, 


PS: sorry for repost this because I just check the archive and found out
it set a wrong subject of my previous posting.
