Line 13:
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 [[Direct memory access|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.
