I haven't seen anybody working on this. After the initial discussion
(especially with Benjamin Herrenschmidt) it seems clear that this is
a know problem which can cause Tx packets to become corrupted.

Same for me - I don't know enough about the BMAC hardware, and don't

I sent a message asking for help to Benjamin Herrenschmidt and Paul
Mackerras (on Monday, April 17), but got no reply yet :-(
