So this was using NET_IP_ALIGN as an offset into the URB. Which was
totally bogus, as its value has long been architecture-dependent. The
code is also claiming to put len bytes but only copying len - delta.
The correct code would be something like:
if (urb->actual_length <= IPHETH_IP_ALIGN) {
dev->net->stats.rx_length_errors++;
return;
}
len = urb->actual_length - IPHETH_IP_ALIGN;
buf = urb->transfer_buffer + IPHETH_IP_ALIGN;
dev_alloc_skb(len);
...
memcpy(skb_put(skb, len), buf, len);

Not speaking for my employer; that's the marketing department's job.
They asked us to note that Solarflare product names are trademarked.
