While you're at it:
Since applying your patch I have been watching
carefully the network traffic over my xl LAN cards.
So far so good; however, I noticed today following
lines in my dmesg.today file:
xl1: transmission error: 90
xl1: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold
to 120 bytes
These lines are only in that file, nowhere else.
They may also have been generated before I applied
your patch, but then I was not yet monitoring the xl
cards. From googling, I learn that I can safely
ignore these messages.
If you apply the polling changes to xl driver, then
please also add a few lines to the DIAGNOSTICS
section of the xl-manpage to describe above messages.
For example, dc(4) has an entry on the 'TX underrun'
in its DIAGNOSTICS section.
Regards,
Rob.
