From 48265667a756ab1c2750048caee3da719a86ebb2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Somnath Kotur Date: Sun, 26 May 2013 21:08:47 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] be2net: Pad skb to meet min Tx pkt size in lancer In Lancer, packets that are 32 bytes or less may cause a transmit stall. The work-around is to pad such packets to a 36 byte length. Signed-off-by: Kalesh AP Signed-off-by: Somnath Kotur Signed-off-by: David S.
