Subject: [PATCH 8/10] spidernet: reset the card when an rxramfull is seen
Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 18:45:32 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070522234532.GG2147@austin.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070522230942.GT5921@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.
