Thanks for the pointer - networking code is all a bit new to me. I'm just struggling at the moment to figure out what the right way to calculate the length. My original patch uses gso_size + hlen, but: - On reflection, while this solves the immediate bug, I'm not 100% sure this is the right thing to be calculating - If it is, then we have the problem that hlen is calculated in a bunch of weird and wonderful ways which make it a nightmare to extract. Yuval (or anyone else who groks the driver properly) - what's the right test to be doing here to make sure we don't write to much data to the card? Regards, Daniel
