That last sentence i have no issues with - it is what i thought wasnt
happening;-> i misunderstood it to be a single fifo shared by all
hardware tx queues from the begining (otherwise i wouldnt be posting).
We are in sync i think, a single pfifo per TX queue is the way to go. I
was suggesting it goes in the driver, but this is cleaner: In the
future, one could could actually replace the pfifo with another qdisc
since the single virtual wire becomes equivalent to a single virtual
netdevice


parallelization is achieveable in the ideal case.

cheers,
