Did you build the driver yourself or are you using a stock binary from a
distribution?

You may want to rebuild and pay attention to the build options.  Also check
any load-time options on the driver (or options you may have that AREN'T
being set).

I am working on an embedded project where we changed from a Via
Mini-ITX board to an Intel based Mini-ITX board.  The embedded device
controls two USB devices and connects to a Firewire camera.  The
images from the camera are sent over gigabit Ethernet to some control
computer.

The change from Via to Intel fixed a USB bug, but created a Ethernet
bug.  The image data is corrupted when sent over the motherboard's
Intel 82541PI LAN chip, but if we use a Realtek RTL8169s-32 PCI board
the data is fine.  If I limit the "send" transfer size to around 8K
on the Intel chip, it works.  On the Realtek I can send 8MB.

I can run the program on a full blown computer for testing.  I have
tried this on Fedora Core 4 with some of the newer kernels, and on
Core 5 updated to kernel 2.6-17.  On all kernels the Intel LAN
reorders the data, the Realtek LAN works.

I do not want to limit the transfer size, because it slows down the
system.  I also like knowing why I need a work around.

Any Ideas?

Thanks
