Robert, seems like you dont have them; Two patches: 2.4.18: http://www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/patches/napi-patch-2418.gz 2.4.19-pre10: http://www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/patches/napi-2419-pre10.gz Also a more recently tested tulip driver at: http://www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/patches/tulip-napi.tgz tested with Znyx 4 port ethernet cards; For the best perfomance (at least on the Znyx Nics) turn on MMIO (selected from kernel config). Ignore anything that looks strange in the code. The dl2k and sundance driver from Ed Peng listed in the README at the site should work fine on 2.4 The info is at: ftp://robur.slu.se/pub/Linux/net-development/NAPI/README cheers, jamal On Wed, 10 Jul 2002, Jason Lunz wrote: > > I've backported the most recent napi sources I could find to 2.4.19-rc1. > The patches are available at http://orr.falooley.org/pub/linux/net/. > > Testing and suggestions are welcome.
