tv | Pull up revision 1.3 (requested by 128 in ticket #0):
- mask IE_UpdateStats interrupt: the driver fails to clear the interrupt
and enter an interrupt loop (it may be a chip bug, I didn't have the time
to investigate yet) if it attemps to transmit some packets while the link
is down (like unplug/replug the cable, ifconfig down/ifconfig up or after a
transmit underrun condition, see below)
- bump the default transmit threshold to 1504 to avoid transmit underruns.
The driver resets the chip after a transmit underrun condition, which
makes the link go down for several seconds, which is unacceptable for
a server usage (after bootup you'll get 10s of underruns before the
threshold is high enouth and things stabilize, which means the link is
almost unusable for minutes)
- update documentation to mention the quad-port DFE580TX, and mention the
driver in notes.
