[netdrvr starfire] fix highmem and broken firmware issues
Unfortunately, [your patch] might address the crash but doesn't address the real problem. It turns out that the problem is one of padding (the firmware cksum engine works only on 32-bit chunks, yuck), so the special casing for length == 1 wasn't sufficient anyway. This patch addresses the issue, as well the other issue of i386 + CONFIG_HIGHMEM being broken. It is pretty much the same workaround that Adaptec themselves used in their Windows driver. I have yet to check if it fixes the problem when the skb is non-linear, but this patch _will_ solve the problem for 99% of the users out there (those not using sendfile).
