There are lots of "maybe"s in your statement. How about reading the code? It will answer all your questions. And yes, I didn't count the MMIO accesses, but it is a _lot_. If you want to compare them, go for it. Nobody else will, as it's too much work. This effort is better put into actually reading, understanding and fixing the code. -- Greetings Michael. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
