[ixp1200] question on behavior of IXF440/IXF1002

[Wen Xu]

Hi,

My question is like this:

In the middle of receiving a 1500 byte packet, if at some point the MAC 
has 100 bytes in its Receive FIFO (but the end of packet is not there 
yet) and set the ready flag, but two data requests come to the port 
instead of one.

Will the MAC send 36 bytes of data for the second request? Or will it
simply assert error for the second request, keeping the 36 byte in the
Receive FIFO for next data request?
