Add to ORKGThere is a family of COMBO cards used for netork monitoring acceleration being developed on the Liberouter project, which is the CESNET's research activity. These cards are equipped with Xilinx's programmable field array. To enable usage of classic tools for network monitoring and management, not only application specific tools, it is necessary to implement network interface card on the platform, that realizes packet reception and transmission through the standard Linux kernel interface. This thesis describes the design and implementation of network interface card's key components. Those are DMA controller and Linux device driver
