The big array for hosting received packets was said by the Linux driver to have to be 128-byte aligned. I did that, but I didn't pay enough attention to all the computations they do to check that. Each element of that array is a struct whose first field contains flags and size information about the packet, and then the packet itself. What needs to be on a 128-byte boundary is the space for the packet itself. My guess is that if it's not the case, the chip ends up crashing, and either DMAs the computer into freezing or something close to that. -- Quentin Garnier - cube%cubidou.net@localhost - cube%NetBSD.org@localhost "See the look on my face from staying too long in one place [...] every time the morning breaks I know I'm closer to falling" KT Tunstall, Saving My Face, Drastic Fantastic, 2007.
