GPUs have almost no influence on system security, the network stack OTOH is probably the most vulnerable part of an operating system. Even if all vendors would implement all the features collected over the last years properly which seems unlikely. Having such an essential and critical part depend on the vendor of my network card without being able to even verify it properly is truly frightening. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
