However, I haven't actually seen the fixed 8390 > version being posted yet or at least not to netdev :) Ah the resounding clang of a subtle hint ;) Signed-off-by: Alan Cox - Return 8390.c to the old way of handling short packets (which is also faster) - Remove the skb_padto from orinoco. This got left in when the padding bad write patch was added and is actually not needed. This is fixing a merge error way back when. - Wavelan can also use the stack based buffer trick if you want Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik --- drivers/net/wireless/wavelan.c | 14 ++++++++------ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/net/wireless/wavelan.c') diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/wavelan.c b/drivers/net/wireless/wavelan.c index b327b640823b..5b69befdab74 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/wavelan.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/wavelan.c @@ -2903,6 +2903,7 @@ static int wavelan_packet_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device * dev) { net_local *lp = (net_local *) dev->priv; unsigned long flags; + char data[ETH_ZLEN]; #ifdef DEBUG_TX_TRACE printk(KERN_DEBUG "%s: ->wavelan_packet_xmit(0x%X)\n", dev->name, @@ -2937,15 +2938,16 @@ static int wavelan_packet_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device * dev) * able to detect collisions, therefore in theory we don't really * need to pad.
