[patch 34/37] sky2: use dev_alloc_skb for receive buffers

From: Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>
Date: 2006-09-06 23:05:54
Also in: lkml

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Stephen Hemminger <redacted>

Several code paths assume an additional 16 bytes of header padding
on the receive path. Use dev_alloc_skb to get that padding.
