Yeah...sorry for not responding earlier.

Right. I have to admit I'm not at all convinced about the BNA part...it seems to me like the only scenario when it makes a difference is when the ring is so small that it can't hold an entire frame. And if that's the case, isn't the easiest solution to just increase the size of the ring?
So, could you please split the patch up into the following parts: 1. TX RLE handling 2. Call macb_rx() regardless of the status 3. Handle incomplete RX frames 4. Special case for RX BNA
Then I can pass on the first three, and we can keep discussing the last one, which is the one I'm not sure about.
