Hi Ayad,
Does this mean you also tried non-RTL8139 NICs? Does this happen in qemu if you use for instance the emulated e1000?
exactly, but with the e1000, the e1000_clean_rx_irq() does not call netif_receive_skb() because rx_desc->status is always zero.
Good news: I was able to reproduce your problem.
Bad news: I'm still at loss about what is going wrong there.
* The setup seems to work with qemu when I use the NE2K driver and qemu's ne2k_pci NIC. Can you confirm that?
* Did you by any chance try this setup on a physical machine, too?
