So the patch only deals with advertisement biz.. and I even failed to
find a place where you arm
something in the FW... so this just works OOB, all your buffers && skb
logic && FW setup are fully
ready for that? also, nothing you need to put differently on the SKB
for HW GRO completions?
can you explain this little further or it's all in your netdev slides...

Or.
