[Click] Network Cards

[Andy Van Maele]

Hallo Michael,

two kind of network-card drivers can be used in polling mode when you 
use Click, because these drivers are patched by the click-patch you run 
before installing Click:
- tulip.o
- eepro100.o
you can have a look in the patch file to verify this.

Next to these drivers, in the subdirectory "drivers" there is also an 
adapted driver of the e1000.o driver (version 4.3.15) that you can use 
to run Click in polling mode.
If you find a networking card that uses these drivers, you can use them 
as PollDevice.

or you could figure out to adapt a driver to add the polling extensions 
that are used by Click ;-)

The networking cards I'm using are Intel Pro 1000 cards, which work with 
the e1000.o driver.
