Hi Alex,
Thank you very much for your reply.
Actually, the in-kernel driver works just fine.
However, I want to use kernel mode Click
Router<http://read.cs.ucla.edu/click/>with polling function. Click
router provides patches for some e1000 drivers
(2.x, 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, 7.3.20, 7.6.15.5 and e-0.4.1.7) to achieve my
goal, but the problem is that these e1000 drivers cannot work with kernel
2.6.32-31.
