Also, to ensure that DMA is actually functional, it is recommended to increase TX stats in the TX completion handler, since that indicates that you have a functional completion process. So long story short, if you record the skb length *before* calling bcm4908_enet_dma_tx_ring_enable() and use that for reporting sent bytes, you should be good. -- Florian
