[PATCH 1/1] TX throttling bug-fixing patch of AX88179_178A

From: freddy
Date: Sat Jul 20 2013 - 05:50:47 EST


From: Freddy Xin <freddy@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Disable TSO and SG network features in reset() and bind() functions,
and check the return value of skb_linearize() in tx_fixup() to prevent
TX throttling.
