    [PATCH] pcnet32: NAPI implementation · 7de745e5
    Don Fry authored
    Implement NAPI changes to pcnet32 driver.  Compile default is off.
    Listed as experimental.
    
    Len and Don both worked on a NAPI implementation and have both tested
    these changes.
    
    An e1000 blasting short packets to the pcnet32 will lockup Don's system
    until the receive storm stops.  Without NAPI Len's system watchdog would
    expire causing the system to reboot.  With NAPI the system will stay
    operational.
    
    Tested ia32 and ppc64.  Tested '970A, '971, '972, '973, '975, '976, and
    '978.
    
    The Kconfig changes came from Len.  Don is to blame for all the others.
