[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/5] Short frames do not exist, so remove code to handle them. Also expand packets that are smaller than the shor frame limit, otherwise the OS X network stack seems to discard them.

[Reimar Döffinger]

This patch expands received data shorter than 60 bytes so no
short-frame detection is incorrectly triggered, and of course also
throws away all short-frame detection code since it makes no sense.
It was also wrong since size is without CRC and thus the short frame
limit is 60, not 64. And related to that (but without a patch), I think
that the

check is wrong, too, and the + 4 should not be there...
Back to the patch, e.g. the rtl8139 driver also expands those frames
(and I just copied the code for that).
This too _definitely_ is necessary to support these AppleIntel8255x drivers.
