There is no current way to modify the RETA registers from within the driver. Please post patches / ideas to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you start to work on this because the generic steering mechanism should be written in the kernel, and the driver should implement specifics for the hardware.
You could prototype something just in driver, but the real interest is making changes that could benefit everyone be done in common kernel space. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew Faulkner Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 4:16 AM To: Brandeburg, Jesse Cc: e1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [E1000-devel] ixgbe RSS Hey Jesse, Thanks for the reply - i have read that the table changes are possible within windows, but i've not seen any mention within linux.
