Yes, your version cures my hangs.

Btw, I have the same chip as mentioned in your code comment (0xb6, rev1).

Your code comment also seems to fit my debug-output in Stephen's 0.16 
(OP_PACKET in eth0 transmit ring). Diffing your code against 0.13 and 0.16, 
it seems that 0.16 just handles the (work_done < to_do) scenario, but not the 
"packets arrived since start of this function"? Well, I have to admit I have 
no real understanding of what all this magic driver code does ;-)

Thank you,
Wolfgang
