Hi,
I start a project on a freescale imx27 using the dm9000a for network.
I learned that the tftp , nfs and other network related working more less very unstable. I start compare the dm9000.c code with the upstream kernel v3.8.4 and fix some issues.
issues tftp with many bad checksums and timeouts nfs with not working at all when upload a 38Mbyte rootfs.jffs2
After the patch its works much better for me. please find my patch attached and consider to merge it the the head branch.

And I don't know if the big delay here is a good thing or not, without knowing the hardware. Jason, you've touched this driver recently and I assume know the hardware at least a little bit, can you comment here? For full context see http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/230759/ thanks!
