From 6e97c170db3878695cb48b5021fffe442ec0aeb0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tushar Dave Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2012 02:21:37 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] e1000e: Minimum packet size must be 17 bytes This is a HW requirement. Although a buffer as short as 1 byte is allowed, the total length of packet before, padding and CRC insertion, must be at least 17 bytes. So pad all small packets manually up to 17 bytes before delivering them to HW.
