- make the kconfig NAPI option prompt consistent across all net drivers (other than EXPERIMENTAL; can it now be removed also, or is the new napi_struct implementation now EXPERIMENTAL ?) - remove comment about the now-deleted NAPI_HOWTO.txt file - clean up typos in Tulip NAPI & Interrupt Mitigation Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

This configures your Tulip card specifically for the card and

system cache line size type you are using.

help
|

Use PCI shared memory for the NIC registers, rather than going through
|
|
the Tulip's PIO (programmed I/O ports). Faster, but could produce
|
|
obscure bugs if your mainboard has memory controller timing issues.

NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
|
|
when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
|
|
still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
|
|
|
|
If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
|
|
deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),
|
|
then say Y here.

---help---
|

Use HW to reduce RX interrupts. Not strictly necessary since NAPI
|
|
reduces RX interrupts by itself. Interrupt mitigation reduces RX
|
|
interrupts even at low levels of traffic at the cost of a small
|
|
latency.
|

If in doubt, say Y.
