Subject: Spidernet - remove ETH_ZLEN check in earlier patch From: James K Lewis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
In an earlier patch, code was added to pad packets that were less that ETH_ZLEN (60) bytes using the skb_pad function. This has caused hangs when accessing certain NFS mounted file systems. This patch removes the check and solves the NFS problem. The driver, with this patch, has been tested extensively. Please apply.
