Don't you have the orientation inverted? WLC_LOW is defined for a PCI NIC.

On a NIC both HIGH and LOW run on the host and the RPC API remains
identical but the APIs become function straight calls.


I'm a bit confused by this. For PCI NICs WLC_HIGH_ONLY is definitely _not_ enabled, which means to me that HIGH is not running on the host.

This lets us use the same code and API in both models.

Getting some documentation out on this is in TODO list.


Thanks. Perhaps that'll clear up some confusion.
