[2.6.20.16 review 28/28] sky2: workaround for lost IRQ

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch restores a couple of workarounds from 2.6.16:
 * restart transmit moderation timer in case it expires during IRQ routine
 * default to having 10 HZ watchdog timer.
At this point it more important not to hang than to worry about the
power cost.
