Hello,

Does RTNet provide function calls to achieve scatter/gather for the e1000
NIC?  I'm building up raw ethernet frames, using the POSIX interface (my
socket is opened using socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, ...) ).  I want to
maintain an array of pointers to Ethernet header buffers then pass one of
the pointers, along with a pointer to a payload to the network stack for
transmit consumption.

In my network configuration this approach seems like I could potentially
save myself a few CPU cycles by not having to fill the Ethernet header each
time I want to transmit (so long as I know where it needs to go).  Is
scatter-gather doable with RTNet?
