From dbe6eb85b54230c1071cd4b5818d7adf3890cf01 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dg Date: Sun, 14 May 1995 11:01:20 +0000 Subject: After carefully reading three reference documents, and analyzing the 802.3 frames generated by the DC21040 (which does automatic padding of less-than-minimum frames) and the frames generated by the 'ed' driver, I've found that there is indeed a bug in the size of "ETHER_MIN_LEN" as reported by several people, John Hay being the most recent. The driver was actually setting the length to 6+6+2+50 (64 bytes), which when adding in the CRC (which is automatically appended to the frame and not included in the length), the minimum frame is 4 bytes larger than it is supposed to be. All of this is confirmed by tcpdump showing 50 bytes of data for minimum frames from the 'ed' cards and 46 bytes from 'de' cards. This analysis has also revealed that there is garbage in the un-filled in portion at the end of the minimum frames from the 'ed' driver; I don't plan to fix this. --- sys/dev/ed/if_ed.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'sys/dev/ed') diff --git a/sys/dev/ed/if_ed.c b/sys/dev/ed/if_ed.c index 6898dfd..d4d29f8 100644 --- a/sys/dev/ed/if_ed.c +++ b/sys/dev/ed/if_ed.c @@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ * the SMC Elite Ultra (8216), the 3Com 3c503, the NE1000 and NE2000, * and a variety of similar clones. * - * $Id: if_ed.c,v 1.70 1995/05/04 07:56:23 davidg Exp $ + * $Id: if_ed.c,v 1.71 1995/05/12 22:39:40 davidg Exp $ */ #include "ed.h" @@ -169,8 +169,8 @@ static unsigned short ed_790_intr_mask[] = { IRQ15 }; -#define ETHER_MIN_LEN 64 -#define ETHER_MAX_LEN 1518 +#define ETHER_MIN_LEN 60 +#define ETHER_MAX_LEN 1514 #define ETHER_ADDR_LEN 6 #define ETHER_HDR_SIZE 14 @@ -1682,7 +1682,7 @@ ed_rint(unit) ed_pio_readmem(sc, packet_ptr, (char *) &packet_hdr, sizeof(packet_hdr)); len = packet_hdr.count; - if (len > ETHER_MAX_LEN) { + if (len > ETHER_MAX_LEN+4) { /* len includes 4 byte header */ /* * Length is a wild value.
