[RFC PATCH 4/4] powerpc 2.6.16-rt29: to fix network driver (workaround)

From: Tsutomu OWA
Date: Thu Aug 10 2006 - 22:02:41 EST



To make network driver available for rt29 (actually rt21 and later).
When doing "ping -f", the network driver seems to hang without this
workaround for rt version 29.

# I suppose this should be fixed in other way in future but for now...
