Hi Jocke,

I just had a look at the code. So far it is running fine. on my board. :)
Following question:
In scc-enet_rx you use invalidate_dcache_range() for the skb data area.
Why don't you do the same in scc_enet_init() for the first set of skb's?
Isn't it required too at this place.

Thanks, Stephan
