From ab9b30cc3ec868fab8764d710193107fbeedbd0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sathya Narayanan Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 10:58:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ibm_newemac: Fixes kernel crashes when speed of cable connected changes The descriptor pointers were not initialized to NIL values, so it was poiniting to some random addresses which was completely invalid. This fix takes care of initializing the descriptor to NIL values and clearing the valid descriptors on clean ring operation.
