From 6cef67a02f7994c97dbd716dbeb592265fb5b7b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ayaz Abdulla Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2009 08:02:30 +0000 Subject: forcedeth: performance changes This patch modifies the throughput mode poll settings to reduce the number of interrupts. This is only used by older hardware that need a timer irq in throughput mode. Secondly, this patch increases the default rx ring from 128 to 512. This drastically improves bandwidth utilization for small packets sizes i.e 512 bytes. Signed-off-by: Ayaz Abdulla Signed-off-by: David S.
