Hi,
I'm Paolo Minazzi form Italy.
I study electronic engineer and for my degree I have to write a REALTME 
driver for a 3com ethernet card.

I have already written the part of code that program the 3com card as a 
linux module.
Now it is the time to port my driver to COMEDI.

In these days I have read the documentation about COMEDI.
Now I think that COMEDI is NOT suitable for ethernet card.
COMEDI is useful for cards that have got not too much input or output.
But it is not useful for sending network packets (I have to send and 
receive packets 60 bytes long).

I think that it is better to write a standard linux driver and avoid comedi.

Do you agree with me ?

Regards,

Paolo Minazzi
