Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2007 02:33:28 -0400 From: Chris Snook <csnook@...hat.com> To: atl1-devel@...ts.sourceforge.net, netdev@...r.kernel.org CC: jacliburn@...lsouth.net, greg@...ah.com Subject: atl1 developers wanted Greetings, netdev! Since the Linux Driver Project apparently has a glut of talent, I figured I'd ask for a little help with an existing driver. As some of you may know, Jay Cliburn and I have been working on atl1 since last summer, and we've gotten the driver merged and stable. It does the basic things one expects a gigE driver to do, and it no longer does the things one expects a gigE driver to *not* do, but there are some hardware features that we don't support very well, or at all. If you have an atl1 board and want to get your hands dirty, we could use some help with the following: Performance features: TSO -- it works, but it's really slow, so we currently disable it by default LRO -- would be nice to have NAPI -- would be nice to have configurable interrupt coalescing -- we're not currently taking advantage of this feature testing: jumbo frames -- last I checked, I could open connections with large MTU, but we've done very little validation, benchmarking, or optimization IPv6 -- seems to work, but the hardware doesn't support offloading for IPv6 traffic, so we need to know about the performance to prioritize work on the aforementioned performance features other: make WoLAN work reliably -- Chris - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
