[Etherboot-developers] bootp_t alignment problem

[Ashish a. <ash...@in...>]

Hello,

1. if anyone looking for 82557 nic driver in etherboot for both endiannes
,i can mail it,also i would be correcting the RXFD and TXFD and command
bit as per Linux driver shortly to make it more robust.

2.after receving bootp reply i am facing some problems of struct bootp_t 
alignment..it starts giving me exception , say if i refer to 
bootpreply->bp_yiaddr.s_addr . I observed that structure is obtained by
folowing code,

bootpreply = (struct bootp_t *)&nic.packet[ETH_HLEN + sizeof(struct iphdr)
+ sizeof(struct udphdr)];

how this alignment problem can be taken care of..I was using in header
file,
struct bootp_t __attribute__ ((aligned(4)))
without any difference.

Best Regards,
Ashish Anand
