Hello,

I have developed a device driver for RTL8139 (c) ethernet card and am 
encountering the problem in the transmission of packets.


The following set up is used to check for the transmission

1) Host A transmits an ARP packet to Host B.
2) Packets are identified on Host B using a sniffer.

Problem:
Ethernet Packets are getting corrupted on transmission to the Host B. 
This is checked by using a sniffer on Host B.

The following observations are made while packets are transmitted:
1) Every time a packet is transmitted, the entire frame takes new 
corrupted value
(ethernet source address, destination address, protocol type, data (ARP 
packet)).

Could any one tell me what may be the reason for the data corruption?


Thanks in Advance,
Rajesh.V
