Bug#245398: via_rhine: very slow (Oversized Ethernet frame spanned multiple buffers)

[Christophe Combelles <ccomb@free.fr>]

I did the following:

I downloaded the full 2.6.9-rc2 tree, from which I retrieved the single 
file via-rhine.c that I put into the Debian 2.6.8 tree. I compiled the 
modules with the same config as my current kernel, I retrieved the new 
via-rhine.ko and loaded it in the current kernel.

The only difference I see is the kernel error message :
eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY status 782d, resetting...
eth0: link up, 100Mbps, half-duplex, lpa 0x40a1
