However, I haven't actually seen the fixed 8390 > version being posted yet or at least not to netdev :) Ah the resounding clang of a subtle hint ;) Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> - Return 8390.c to the old way of handling short packets (which is also faster) - Remove the skb_padto from orinoco. This got left in when the padding bad write patch was added and is actually not needed. This is fixing a merge error way back when. - Wavelan can also use the stack based buffer trick if you want Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
