[Etherboot-developers] Q: USE_LOWMEM_BUFFER?

[Eric W B. <ebi...@ln...>]

I'm a little curious about the history of USE_LOWMEM_BUFFER, and
the reasons for it.  The primary reason is that when I start
compiling I can easily get a huge .bss section, because all of the
drivers have a seperate transmit buffer.

I'm not advocating reviving USE_LOWMEM_BUFFER but instead looking
at what it would take to use the old USE_LOWMEM_BUFFER infrastructure
to have a common transmit buffer.
