Hello Luigi (and to all) I was able to successfully compile the netmap module for OpenWRT but without drivers. According to the information in the README file which comes with the source, the drivers are not necessary but with some "reduced performance". I would like to ask how much degradation should be expected. I would like to run some tests to see if everything is ok and if the port was successful= . Thank you for the help!
