Hello Luigi (and to all)
I was able to successfully compile the netmap module for OpenWRT but
without drivers. According to the information in the README file which
comes with the source, the drivers are not necessary but with some reduced
performance.
I would like to ask how much degradation should be expected. I would like
to run some tests to see if everything is ok and if the port was successful.
Thank you for the help!

First of all, thank you for the quick answer!
I will try it myself to compile just the netmap module without the drivers
and report the results back to you.
Once again, thank you!

Hello!
First of all, to Luigi and the dev team, great piece of work that netmap
is! This is a piece of software that I was looking for quite some time.
Your team effort is appreciated!
Now the question.
I know that this is a FreeBSD mailing list but I was wondering, since you
have a PKGBUILD file for ArchLinux, could someone in your team do the
same
for OpenWRT? Netmap seems to be a piece of software which would come in
handy, to develop applications and protocols for the OpenWRT distro.
Since OpenWRT uses uClib, I don't really know if it is possible to
compile
it.
Help is appreciated!
i expect it will be trivial to compile netmap for openwrt,
because it is just a piece of kernel code and the userspace
has little or no dependencies.
Another story is to write specific netmap extensions for the
driver in use -- that might require a little bit of work
though not much, knowing the driver.
I am afraid we currently we do not have the time and manpower
to set up a build environment and give it a try.
cheers
luigi
