Interesting. That e100 patch really is the patch that never ends! :-)
I didn't think I needed the pci_dma_sync_single_for_device because I
wasn't changing the prev_rfd->command anymore. Now I look again and I
see that the code is still setting prev_rfd->link which may require a
sync. Although I did the bulk of my work with a compulab CM-X255,
http://www.compulab.co.il/x255/html/x255-cm-datasheet.htm , I happen to
have some IXP425 based Gateworks Avilas. They are GW2348-4,
http://www.gateworks.com/products/avila/gw2348-4.php .
May I ask what actual board you are using and how the e100 is connected
to it? I plan to test with miniPCI based e100 cards. Also, can you say
more about it being broke? Does it crash immediately, fail to move any
data, move some data and stop, etc. ?
