Thanks for this however it is not the problem I am experiencing at present, my problem is with the TX and not the RX side of things, I have added debug and the ibm_emac_core prints out that the packet has been transmitted, however I see nothing at the other end when you transmit a packet of tx fifo size bytes from the PPC 440 GX, packets of <tx fifo size or >tx fifo size are transmitted fine from the PPC 440 GX, so long as you do not transmit a packet of Tx fifo size. Thanks
