Writing driver for a net device which does not support interrupt

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi list,

I'm writing a net device driver for my final project in college. But the
half-finished device doesn't support interrupt yet(those hardware guys...)

So I'm wondering if there is some way to poll the device for its status
and events.

Google tells me 'NAPI' uses a polling mechanism, but it still needs
hardware interrupt support :(

Any suggestions?


Thanks
Freeman
