In short (at least for the ti(4) driver), you're running the transmit and receive routines until they run without processing any packets. So you catch any packets that came into the receive rings while the transmit routine was running, etc. Or rather you're waiting for a lull in packet transmission and reception to exit the interrupt handler. Does this have any noticeable effect on performance? Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@kdm.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
