Check for tx done interrupts

skuzye · 01-23-2009, 11:49 AM

Hello,

I've trying searching google and LQ.org if I can see if tx done interrupts (forcedeth driver for nforce chips) are done correctly by my card but I couldn't find anything useful.

It generates by default 100 interrupts per second and I'd like very much to save energy if I could safely remove this in forcedeth.c and then recompile the kernel.

If someone can, please, point me somewhere so I can learn how to check if TX done interrupts are done correctly or even what is this because no info could be found.

I was looking at an article about bottlenecks and saw that sar manage this. BTW, tx packages are the packages that the card send.
