Does E1000e driver supports NAPI by default?

Can somebody confirm if E1000e NAPI support is enabled by default on kernels
2.6.26 and later? There seems to be no kernel option enable it.

I'm currently using E1000 driver with NAPI support (*Intel 82571EB) *and
thinking to use E1000e since E1000 won't be maintained in the future.

Hi Ferdy,

I looked into this a while back when I configured 2.6.30 and found that
E1000E has NAPI enabled by default and hence no kernel configuration option.

Hi, Beyers
Thanks for your info. You're right. I did a grep on 'napi' on
linux-2.6.26.8/drivers/net/e1000e/netdev.c. It's there.
