If I just apply this and say "yeah ok", the message is completely lost and your prediction about "small number of years" indeed will occur. However if I push back hard on this, as I will, then the message has some chance of seeping back to the people designing these chips. So that's what I'm going to do, like it or not. Or can someone convince me that someone who understand this stuff is telling the hardware guys to universally put 2's complement checksums into the descriptors? Who is doing that at each and every prominent ethernet hardware verndor? Who? If I get silence, or some vague non-specific response, then I'm going to hold my ground and keep pushing back on this stuff. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
