Orinoco testing + ARM (Byte-alignment problems, it seems)

[Ben Greear]

So, it started working.  I'm not too sure why yet, (I made some
changes, but nothing that should have mattered).

ping -f gets the driver into a funny state:

  ping -f 192.168.2.5
PING 192.168.2.5 (192.168.2.5): 56 data bytes
............eth1: error -110 reading Rx descriptor. Frame dropped.
eth1: Error -110 writing Tx desciptor to BAP
eth1: Error -110 writing Tx desciptor to BAP
eth1: Error -110 writing Tx desciptor to BAP
eth1: Error -110 writing Tx desciptor to BAP
eth1: Error -110 writing Tx desciptor to BAP
eth1: Error -110 writing Tx desciptor to BAP

[This repeats forever, even after the ping has been stopped]

Maybe the Rx drop wedges the driver somehow?

Thanks,
Ben
