It would help a lot to describe what is the Napatech NIC Driver Suite, and why it is a virtual driver. What is the hardware it runs on? Where can we get it? Where can we download the Driver Suite? > +Supported Features > +------------------ > + > +- RSS (Receive Side Scaling) > +- TSS (Transmit Side Scaling) > +- Promiscuous mode > +- Basic statistics > + > + > +Prerequisites > +------------- > + > +Requires Napatech NIC and Napatech NIC Driver Suite installed and > +running in version **0.3.0** or higher. > +This includes external libraries and kernel driver for resources > +allocations and initialization. So the Driver Suite is just a library to help implementing the driver for the Napatech NIC? Thanks for explaining your solution
