Hi Luigi, I for one am looking forward to netmap with linux support, so please post to the list once you have something to share. I've used libe1000 http://libe1000.sourceforge.net/ with Click userspace in the past with great success. libe1000 uses similar techniques than netmap, unfortunately this library hasn't been maintained so netmap with linux will be a great replacement.
