[ixp1200] peth driver question, need help

[Jimmy Brian Christanthio]

We are using Embedded Linux tools and Peth from Viosoft Corp. We have no
problems running PETH and applications utilising the PETH. If you would
like more information, you could contact Viosoft or their distributors. 

1. Did you start your microengine?

2. If yes, check status, usually it is fault in microengine. 

Let me know if you need further information.

I use peth driver with ixp1200, and meet this error message. 
this error will drop some output packet occasionally, who will tell 
me what is happend, thanks very much

this error is below:

$ insmod ue.o
$ insmod octmac.o
$ insmod giga_drv.o
$ rs_udebug
$ load
$ ping 1.2.1.1

then I meet the error message like that:

peth_start_xmit called
peth_start_xmit: new descriptor = 0
Bad descriptor 0, dropping outgoing packet
pethFreeDescriptor: descriptor = 0
pethFreeDescriptor: Bad descriptor 0
