Intel PRO/16 sudden latency problems

2001-06-14 Thread Lee Cremeans
I'm using an old Inel EtherExpress Pro/10 ISA (i82595-based) to connect my testbox (AMD K6-3 400, VIA MVP3 chipset, running Debian woody with kernel 2.4.5) to my home LAN, which connects to the net through 608/128 kbit ADSL. The problem I'm seeing is after long periods of sustained activity, the e

IPSec stack and calling a hardware driver using sleep_on/wake_up

I'm working with a client on integrating a hardware driver for one of our products (using the Hi/fn 7751 encryption processor) with a FreeS/WAN-based IPSec stack. The problem I keep running into is when I send a packet to our driver to be decrypted. Usually, when we send a request to our driver, t

I'm working on a driver for the Hi/fn 7751 encryption chip, and I've run into a weird problem and I'm not entirely sure how to fix it. The driver was originally written for NT, but has been broken out into OS-specific and OS-independent parts, and the Linux-specific part calls code in the OS-i
