bcm43xx: Add full netdev watchout timeout patch. (closes: 392065)
   * Add stable release 2.6.18.2:
     - Remove not yet released, revert the included patches.
     - Keep aboves bcm43xx fix, it's more complete.

It would be nice not to mess with bcm43xx driver, especially when you don't know
what you are doing. Debian's last version (2.6.18-5) is completely broken:

/* LOG */
Nov 11 13:03:41 neobox kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out
Nov 11 13:03:41 neobox kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:02.0

/* END LOG */

Please keep track of the official branch, which works well since 2.6.18.2
