Its definitely possible. We have two network stacks.....
But from a maintenance, testing and user confusion side of things it
would be better to have one driver. Would it be possible to merge the
two drivers keeping as much code as common as possible and CDL options
to configure between Low CPU-higher latency, and higherCPU-lower
latency?
