The driver will degenerate to polling every 100ms. If your system is this misconfigured, then ACPI or the BIOS needs to be fixed and the driver really only needs to work well enough to get the bug report out ;-) The older driver was doing rewhacking the Transmit IRQ status timer, so it would give a bogus transmit status interrupt and that was masking issues. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
