And other good example;) We do have [-,]{rxcsum, txcsum} in ifconfig for turning this on/off if supported. What I meant is to have common names for the interface (sysctl) for all NICs supporting this - "on grep finds all" and not to start home-brewed names for each driver. There might be some different names needed because int_delay, int_throttle_ceil or sk_interrupt_mod might or might not achieve the same but if they do names should be same. > drivers offer more sysctls; fxp lets you choose the maximum delay and > maximum packets to hold before firing an interrupt. great; someone should improve fxp.4 I guess ;) -- Bjoern A.
