Hello all,
version 0.17 of forcedeth for Linux 2.4 and 2.6 is available at
http://www.hailfinger.org/carldani/linux/patches/forcedeth/
Fixes in this release over 0.14:
* 0.15: 08 Nov 2003: fix smp deadlock with set_multicast_list
* during open.
* 0.16: 15 Nov 2003: include file cleanup for ppc64, rx buffer
* size increased to 1628 bytes.
* 0.17: 16 Nov 2003: undo rx buffer size increase. Substract 1
* from the tx length.
Known issues:
* Oops during module removal, probably sysfs related. Could a
sysfs expert please take a look at the code? Call trace is at
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0311.1/0213.html
More traces (roughly the same) available on request.
* Some boards give bogus MAC addresses and work only partially.
Same problem happens with nvnet on these boards.
* Transmit for packets close to MTU size was broken, should be
fixed now.
Please test.
Regards,
Carl-Daniel
