Actually, tulip is really different of another cards, this creature generates badly aligned packets. F.e. it is possible a checksumming routine folds some bytes beyond end of frame. :-) I have lots of verious tulips here, but have never seen such a shit. :-)
I'm not certain what you mean by this: there are many NIC chips that have alignment requirements similar to the Tulip design. Note that the Tulip is no more likely than other cards to trigger motherboard PCI implementation bugs. It's just that there are far more NIC chip types supported by the Tulip driver than other drivers. -- Donald Becker becker@scyld.com Scyld Computing Corporation http://www.scyld.com 410 Severn Ave. Suite 210 Second Generation Beowulf Clusters Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993
