2436 help
2437 NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
2438 when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
2439 still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
2440
2441 If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
2442 deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),
2443 then say Y here.
2444
2445 If in doubt, say N.
