This is the 2.6.22 version of a regression fix that is already
in 2.6.23. Change the watchdog timer form 10 per second all the time,
to 1 per second and only if interface is up.

This is an updated driver howto for batching that works with patches
from yesterday and the revised ones i am going to post.
cheers,

Here's the beginning of a howto for driver authors.
The intended audience for this howto is people already
familiar with netdevices.

Already upstream.
The length check for truncated frames was not correctly handling
the case where VLAN acceleration had already read the tag.
Also, the Yukon EX has some features that use high bit of status
as security tag.

Already upstream.
After resume, driver has reset the chip so the current state
of transmit checksum offload state machine and DMA state machine
will be undefined.
The fix is to set the state so that first Tx will set MSS and offset
values.
Please provide feedback on the code and/or architecture.
Last time i posted them i received little. They are now updated to
work with the latest net-2.6.24 from a few hours ago.

You are correct, I have tested back to 2.6.18 and the bug is still here. So I
don't know when the problem did NOT occur.

This patch removes dev-gso_skb as it is no longer necessary with
batching code.
cheers,
jamal
[NET_BATCH] kill dev-gso_skb
The batching code does what gso used to batch at the drivers.
There is no more need for gso_skb. If for whatever reason the
requeueing is a bad idea we are going to leave

The way the batching code looks right now, you will probably send a
