IOCTLs to network interfaces are called under rtnl_lock(), so only one IOCTL to any network interface in the system will be active at a time. See dev_ioctl() in net/core/dev.c. John's right, you most likely want a packet socket. See man packet. - Chris Ronciak, John wrote: > An IOCTL to a driver

An IOCTL to a driver is going to block until satisfied. This means that even with 4 interfaces running each IOCTL will be blocking in each instance of the driver. You have not said how many processor you have running. My guess is if you have each of the 4 interfaces running on a separate proces

Hi, I am leaving the older message just for the sake of continuity in case you need to know any of the history. We're using Intel Pro/1000 VT with RHEL 5.2 and trying to use IOCTL to send and receive data. We're using the igb driver but there's some change we put in to get the packet right aft
