What has changed in the 2.4.x kernel to fix the dma cache coherency problems. Do
you know when this will be a stable kernel. We have  ported  the 82559 driver
adding the DMA writebacks and invalidates which generally works but we still see
some infrequent transmit problems.

You need to add all the cache coherency handling into the driver for it to
work properly with ARM processors.

If you'd use a 2.4.x kernel, everything is already done for you.
