To get them you have to execute an NDA with Broadcom. So we're effectively limited to what can be gleaned from the Linux driver. Its header file has a struct declaration for the "T3_EXT_RCV_BD" (extended receive buffer descriptor, probably) but the driver doesn't actually use it. Without the docs it would take a lot of trial & error to figure out how to make it work. In other words, I doubt that the bge driver could use a new buffer API unless it provided a way to get physically contiguous buffers. John -- John Polstra John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
