[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 04/10] eepro100: Pad received short frames

[Stefan Weil]

QEMU sends frames smaller than 60 bytes to ethernet nics.
This should be fixed in the networking code because normally
such frames are rejected by real NICs and their emulations.
To avoid this behaviour, other NIC emulations pad received
frames. This patch enables this workaround for eepro100, too.

All related code is marked with CONFIG_PAD_RECEIVED_FRAMES,
so emulation of the correct handling for short frames can
be restored as soon as QEMU's networking code is fixed.
