Does anyone know of specific reasons to use m_devget() to extract received packets from the rx buffer in the "dc" driver, as opposed to passing up the mbuf and just replacing it with a fresh one in the controller's queue ? Other drivers just happily do the latter, including the "de" driver, so there seems to be no problem with the chipset in handling this ? Bill, any comments ? cheers luigi ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
