[Sussex] Driver Patch

[Rob Clegg]

Hello Guy's,

I was wondering if one of you could help me with a problem, I'm messing about with Debian Woody on an Sunsparc Ultra 2 (I wont to re-employ it as a Counter-Strike server) and the sunhme driver keeps locking up. I've managed to locate a patch for it but am not entirly sure what to do with it! Here's the patch;

--- drivers/net/sunhme.c.orig	Mon Jul 15 02:38:27 2002
+++ drivers/net/sunhme.c	Mon Jul 15 03:09:03 2002
 @@ -1983,6 +1983,7 @@

+	udelay(1);
 
 	if (netif_queue_stopped(dev) &&
 	    TX_BUFFS_AVAIL(hp) > (MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1))

I imagine I need to change the sunhme.c file before I recompile the kernel. Does the @@ -1983,6 +1983,7 @@ mean take out six lines from 1983 including 1983 and replace them with these seven lines? 

Here's lines 1863 to 1873 of my original sunhme.c.

		hp->net_stats.tx_packets++;
	}
	hp->tx_old = elem;
	TXD((">"));

	if (netif_queue_stopped(dev) &&
	    TX_BUFFS_AVAIL(hp) > (MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1))
		netif_wake_queue(dev);
}

Cheers,
