Hi, I use the Intel NIC 82546GB. In Intel Software Developer’s Manual of Gigabit Ethernet Controllers (8254x_GBe_SDM.pdf), there is talk of memory region where Receive Descriptors point at.
My Question: Where in the driver, is the point, where memory regions are reserve for the NIC? Can I read out where are exactly this areas? Does exists different regions for receive and transmit? In "Understanding_Linux_Network_Internals" I read, that the function request_region can use for memory reservation, but in the e1000e driver the function only use for kernel versions lower 2.4.3. Thanks in advance.
