As the author of tulip-user and via-audio docbooks, I can say that they are
out of date and should be deleted.

This version of the driver allocates skbuffs -for the Rx ring buffers at open() time and passes the skb->data field to the -Tulip as receive data buffers.

For small frames the copying cost is negligible (esp. considering -that we are pre-loading the cache with immediately useful header -information). For large frames the copying cost is non-trivial, and the -larger copy might flush the cache of useful data. A subtle aspect of this -choice is that the Tulip only receives into longword aligned buffers, thus -the IP header at offset 14 isn't longword aligned for further processing. -Copied frames are put into the new skbuff at an offset of "+2", thus copying -has the beneficial effect of aligning the IP header and preloading the -cache. -</para> - -</sect1> - -<sect1><title>Synchronization</title> -<para> -The driver runs as two independent, single-threaded flows of control.
