Will do, but check perhaps for some 64bit uncleanes in the scatter gather stuff

recalled some skb related stuff.
There is an easy way to disable the firmware and pretty much all the
changes that went into 2.6.13: load the starfire with enable_hw_cksum=0.
If you can easily reproduce this problem, try doing the above and see if
you can still hit it. Maybe it's a newly introduced problem in the upper
layer's SG--your other network driver simply isn't using SG so it's
not affected.
It's very suspicious that the bug would be in skb_checksum_help(), since
the starfire driver doesn't do anything with the skb before handing it
over to skb_checksum_help(). It would mean that the upper layer handed an
invalid skb to the driver, or that we have some random memory corruption
somewhere.
Thanks,
Ion
