Sounds strange. I don't know why it should act differently going in
versus going out.
It's an inline function - perhaps you've stumbled across a compiler
bug? The function is hand-coded assembly though.
Or is it a problem with the network driver? But you said you dumped
the packets to the terminal, and they were OK.
Which version of the kernel source and what compiler are you using?
The NetWinder is StrongARM based too - and we're not getting those
errors (I think).
The linux-arm mailing list might be a better place to ask, because RMK
(who wrote that code) hangs out there.
It sounds like you are making really good progress. :-)
Cheers,
