anyone know new network drivers receiving architecture

[sri ram vemulpali <kishore.kernelmm.dev@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

   In recent version of kernel 2.6.33 the network driver e100 ethernet receiving architecture has RFA (receiving frame area)

   does anyone know what does this mean. And that is mapped to device registers and status registers. 

   what do you mean by RFD (receive frame descriptor) and data buffer area for skb buff. 

   Also, most of the driver structure is changed. If anyone can help me to understand the arch it would help me.

 

Thanks,

Sri
