Line 12: ==NAPI compliant drivers== A driver using the '''NAPI''' interface will work as follow : * Packet receive interrupts are disabled. * The driver provides a poll method to the kernel. That method will fetch all incoming packets available, on the network card or a [[DMA]] ring, so that they will then be handled by the kernel. * When allowed to, the kernel calls the device poll method to possibly handle many packets at once.
