This is a known problem under -CURRENT. If you uncomment the printf() call in ep_if_watchdog() you will see that the TX queue is being flushed from the watchdog timeout. This happens on all cards and busses I've tested (ISA, ISA PnP, EISA, MCA). Others have reported it on PCMCIA. I've also received reports of the same watchdog timeouts under STABLE. I'm somewhat puzzled and have not been able to locate the problem. I don't see any recent commits that could have caused the error. I continue to work on solving this though. If anyone has any ideas by all means let me know. -- | Matthew N.
