it's forcedeth.
i've checked nv_napi_poll(), and i dont see how it could return larger
than 'limit' number of packets.
it could return packets == limit though:
pkts = nv_rx_process_optimized(dev, budget);
...
if (pkts < budget) {
/* re-enable receive interrupts */
spin_lock_irqsave(&np->lock, flags);
__netif_rx_complete(dev, napi);
...
return pkts;
shouldnt that be "pkts <= budget"? But even that shouldnt cause a larger
than limit return. Weird.
there are two networking cards in the system, the other one is a:
eth1: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xf080e000, 00:c0:df:03:68:5d, IRQ 11
eth1: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139B'
but this one should be inactive (not plugged into the network). Should i
try to get a debug print out of the actual 'weight' and 'work' integers,
and of the n->poll function address?
