There are cases where rx errors were found due to rx ring size being too
small
during remote installation using pcnet32. It is found that ethtool
functionality
may not be available under such circumenstance. This is the purpose behind
this patch.
However, as Don pointed out, there are several p
Why is this necessary? There is already an ethtool function to set
the rx ring size (pcnet32_set_ringparam). Since module parameters
are being phased out in favor of the ethtool functions, why not use
the existing ethtool infrastructure for this?

Second, the mininum number of descriptors should be 4 not 2, or the
loopback test will loo
