Just before leaving home last week I noticed that sky2 was causing an interrupt storm on my new toy, which explained the massive performance problems I saw there. Since I'd just taken the sky2.[ch] from the netdev git tree and compiled them against the Fedora kernel I didn't report it; just intended to look into it further when I got home. -- dwmw2 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
