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

The patches for Linux 2.4 were malformed. Corrected versions have been
uploaded a few hours ago.
Thanks to Brad House for spotting this.

Well, the problem I saw was with the 2.6 patch.
These lines:
+++ build-2.6/drivers/net/forcedeth.c 2003-11-15 23:00:30.000000000 +0100

Should be

Otherwise, the last 2 lines:
+module_init(init_nic);
+module_exit(exit_nic);
Get cut off.

Aaah! The files were corrupted during upload. That's why I didn't find the
problem you described in my local version.
The problem is fixed now and MD5 sums have been uploaded to avoid this in
the future.
Thanks again,
