From 2bf27a0d4913a5f0ef38e3be510b1b3add2869ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linas Vepstas Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2007 13:23:42 -0500 Subject: spidernet: Don't terminate the RX ring The terminated RX ring will cause trouble during the RX ram full conditions, leading to a hung driver, as the hardware can't find the next descr. There is no real reason to terminate the RX ring; it doesn't make the operation any smooother, and it does require an extra sync. So don't do it.
