Hi Vadym
This is a core feature which needs to be in the first version merged into the kernel. Basically, the driver first needs to offer 24 individual interfaces which can send and receive packets. The Linux stack does everything else. You then add offloads, like bridges, vlans, etc, allowing the hardware to accelerate what Linux is doing.
