This is the reason why we have a inet > notification listener (to tell firmware about local addresses). May be I should clarify further. Driver does check if the net device is owned by a qlogic (or netxen) pci device then only will care about telling firmware about the IP address. On NAT box, the IP address belonging to tap/tun device won't land into firmware preventing any packet accumulation in HW. -Dhananjay -- 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
