Does the value of net.isr.enable (0 or 1) have any effect when running an interface in polling mode? If I understand correctly, with net.isr.enable set to 1 the processing of incoming packets are handled directly in the ISR (interrupt service routine?) instead of being deferred to the ithread. However, polling mode means no interrupts so the ISR is never called(?). /Daniel Eriksson
