Please run this past Bill Paul. The reason for the pre-adjustment of the m_devget is to ensure that the structure in the IP header is aligned, given the fact that there is a 14 byte ethernet header in front of it. An alignment of 16 should work on the Alpha and IA64, without needing modification. The m_devget basically copies the data to force it to be aligned (ugly, but necessary on brain damaged hardware). Are these changes really necessary for the Alpha to work? Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
