Subject: [patch 2.6.11] e100: NAPI state machine fix
Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 10:51:52 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050316155152.GF18393@tuxdriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20050316154458.GE18393@tuxdriver.com>

Improve state machine to fix NAPI-related data corruption.

This came direct from Intel (i.e. I am not the author).  It has been
observed to fix data corruption problems when using the e100 driver
on both x86 and ppc systems.
