I just found a stupid bug I forgot to patch before, so if you
downloaded this version and want to test it in real hardware using a
Realtek 8139, you need to change a method: (sorry for that)
Realtek8139PCIDevice>>sendNow: anEthernetPacket on: descriptorIndex
| str |
str := anEthernetPacket asString padded: #right to: 60 with: $ .
(self transmitStartAddress: descriptorIndex) stringAt: 1 put: str.
self transmitStatus: descriptorIndex put: str size.
This new version pads ethernet packets to a minimum of 60 bytes,
because the card does not support auto padding of small packets. You
will need this for almost anything (TCP SYNs and TCP SYN/ACK are < 60
bytes long for example).
again, sorry for this.
