Hello,

The patch prevents the GCC tool chain from striping useful code for optimization. It will make UEC ethernet driver workable, Otherwise the UEC will fail in tx when you are using gcc4.x. but the driver can work when using gcc3.4.3.

Wolfgang and Stefan, I am really sorry for that. I used gcc3.4.3 when I developed it, so I didn't find it. please apply it, TIA.

CHANGELOG

*Prevent the GCC from striping code for optimization, Otherwise the UEC will tx failed when you are using gcc4.x.
