when you say a thing is not athomic you presume that it returns even though what was fired by it had not yet ended. if you set the send buffer to zero as in the patch i submitted today it won't return till everything is done. sure, this is not suitable for real-time applications... since a context switch would make we wait... but we would wait all the same even if it returned much before the kernel did write the packet to the wire. hence, this way, when we go on we go on because the packet is written. in the other case we did go on and the packet was not written... and anyway it is not suitable for real-time applications all the same. cheers
