Hello,
initially the processor of the computer is executing a particular program,.then when the NICard gets data thru the network line it interrupts the hardware so that the data is processed and gets to the application layer.when this hardware interrupt comes inthe Interrupt service routine of the NIC device driver is scheduled by the Free BSD kernelso now instead of the parent program..the ISR is running on the processor.i wanted to know the sequence of steps which take place between the switching from parent program ---> to-->ISR and then back from ISR to parent program.
I would be very grateful if u could let me know how to go about this,
i am already looking at the links u suggested and trying to help myself,
thanx
Vinu
