Questions on Click

[Benjie Chen]

hi

i don't believe there are any documentations about the modifications
we made, but you can look into the netdevice.h file  in the headers directory
to look for the set of functions that we added. the tulip driver, for 
example, implements those functions. the implementation is fairly straight-
forward, mostly taken code verbatim from the non-polling part of the driver,
removing things that disable/enables interrupts and uses programmed I/Os
(inb and outb instructions).

as for 2.4.7-10, you will have to make your own patch using the 2.4 patch we
have. the best way to do it would be to patch 2.4.7 with our patch and look for
conflicts.

good luck...
