Dear Klaus Flittner,

In message 20110131204025.1ffb0391@earth.lan you wrote:

With the current hardware initialisation of the driver all packets with an odd number of preamble nibbles are dropped. Some switches seem to send all packets with such an preamble.

According to the functional specifications of the marvell 88F6180, 6190, 6192 and 6281 the reception of such packets can be enabled by setting bit 22 in register PSC1.
