Subject: [PATCH 8/10] spidernet: reset the card when an rxramfull is seen
Date: Wed, 16 May 2007 17:19:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070516221946.GH4997@austin.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070516215605.GA4325@austin.ibm.com>
Some versions of the spider have a firmware bug, where the
RX ring sequencer goes crazy when the RX RAM on the device
fills up. Appearently the only viable wrkaround is a soft
reset of the card.
