Handling receive packets with limited buffer space

In my modified ethoc.c driver, I am using only one receive buffer descriptor due to limited space. This works fairly well for small packets (arp, pings, etc.).

However, doing a 'wget' and downloading a file causes lots of drops and thus results in a terminated connection.

How do I go about dealing with this? I tried stopping the queue (netif_stop_queue) while I'm processing the rx skb and then resuming it once I'm done, but this did not seem to help.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks for any help.

You'll need to allocate a new skb and copy into it before passing the data up the stack.
