Subject: [PATCH 07/52] sfc: Remove mistaken hardware workaround
Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2008 12:46:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080901114602.GA7908@solarflare.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080901111621.GT7908@solarflare.com>
We believed that some valid SNAP frames were being marked as invalid.
In fact this is not the case and no workaround is needed.
