The card is offloading TCP/IP checksums, TCP/IP packet fragmentation, and does IPSEC through the ARM9 proc. I like the card. but no real real linux drivers yet. only basic network card drivers for linux. /Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Brent Norris > > Executive Advisor -- WKU-Linux > > System Administrator -- WKU-Center for Biodiversity > Best Mechanical > > W: 270-745-8864 > H: 270-563-9226 > > "The problem with the Linux learning curve is that it is _so_ steep once > at the top you can't see the people at the bottom" --Doug Hagan > > - > 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/ > - 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/
