I thought I made this clear - there will be no final patch :-) The entity responsible for SMC configuration is Boot Monitor. This patch is just a hack to confirm (or deny) my theory. > Do you believe the patch is a fix for this particular issue, or will > it just reduce the probability (and hence frequency) of problems? This hack is a work-around rather than a fix as it is probably too expensive in terms of I/O performance. We may be able to fix it properly on IO FPGA level. No promises, terms and conditions apply ;-) > Note that in either case the smsc911x driver is still believed to have > problems of its own, like incorrect FIFO skipping on bad packets, and > some SMP safety issues. No argument here. Even more - the driver can (and should) detect the problematic situation and perform soft reset to recover. So there are plenty of opportunities for improvements. This doesn't change the fact that (widely defined) hardware behaves incorrectly in this case.
