I know the ethernet support 3 mode: No DMA, simple DMA, scatter gather DMA, when I use the No DMA mode, we can write the skb into the FIFO, but can't ping other PCs in the network. When I use the simple DMA mode, at the time of ping, in the driver, we should initialize the DMA channel, but when transfering the skb, the DMA returns a "DMA bus time out" signal.

What's an opb_ethernet?
