>Release:        -CURRENT (20 Feb 2002 from CVS)
>Organization:
Neville-Neil Consulting
>Environment:
Can't, embedded machine.
Soekris 4501 networked embedded board.     
>Description:
Packets that are less than the 60 byte minimum for ethernet
are transmitting with trailing 1 bits (this shows up at 0xff
in ethereal/tcpdump) instead of trailing 0 bits.  This is the
way the chip (National Semiconductor DP83815) interprets auto-padding.

>How-To-Repeat:
ping -s 1 -c 1 224.0.0.1

on the machine with the sis interface.

Check packets with ethereal/tcpdump.

>Fix:
Here is a context diff for a fix:
