Hi,

On u-boot bootloader 1.1.2 on AMD Alchemy Au1x00:

The au1x00_mac.c assumes that ethernet transmit always starts with transmit buffer 0. This is not necessarily true (in the event of a warm reboot).

This little patch fixes that and prevents (reduces?) transmit timeouts that you might see when you're repeatedly warm-rebooting your board during development.

Cheers, Joseph Chiu www.omnilux.net
