I am looking for inputs to port an existing pci nic driver from Linux to Xen, I understand nic driver needs netback and netfront functionality in order to work in Xen but I am unable to nail down the details of changes required esp. what changes are required in TX/RX buffers for DMA in existing driver and change them for netback/netfront functionality, handling IRQs... A pointer to existing nic driver or if pointer to document would be really helpful.

Thanks
-RK
