if_sk.c patch - if_sk.patch.gz (0/1)

[Matthew Dillon]

:Argh,
:
:>This is a part of a patch i sent to the list about a week ago. It also
:>solved the problem of non-working sk(4) with jumbo frames enabled in my
:>case.
:
:I obviously didn't notice your posting...could have saved me some
:valuable time! :) Anyway, I had jumbo frames enabled ever since, but
:this caused me no trouble. It was just the wrong buffer size...so I
:think there are probably other chips (beside the 88E8001) affected,
:perhaps the xxx1000 family. As noticed before, I also did not see any
:of these "watchdog timeout" messages.
:
:But what the heck...it's just important sk? works!
:
:Enjoy

:P.S. During my research, I checked the chip's ID on the motherboard,
:and it reads 88E8001. Looking at the dmesg output, the system
:identifies it as 88E1000* ("*" is "S" for a single port interface),
:which is wrong. The manufacturer's site lists the 88E1000* as a member
:of their "ALASCA" family, but according to dmesg, it's part of their
:YUKON clan (which is correct). I'm not sure if we should patch
:".../mii_layer/miidevs.h" to get this right, since after all, it
:really doesn't matter...

:cd /pub
:more beer
