Oliver,

We have been looking at usbnet and a have question.

Usbnet doesn't use either phylib or napi, but I think the reason is
probably purely historical. Is there a technical reason why phylib or
napi won't work with usbnet devices?

If not, I would like to convert them in the near future.

Thanks,

Richard

Hi,

phylib is for historical reasons, although many devices won't
give you much access to the phy.

NAPI however is technically not very meaningful for USB
devices as you cannot poll them. So the central concept
behind NAPI doesn't apply.

	Regards
