Yes, I got the run-time feature message. It will require quite
a bit of code reshuffle and testing to make sure we don't
break existing code in any way.

Thanks,
Ravi

Independant of this issue, can you please acknowledge what
many people are trying to show you in that you MUST make
this a run-time selectable feature.

Yes, that means the driver will have to have two totally
seperate code paths.  But that should not be inefficient
because you can just hook up different transmit and
interrupt handler methods depending upon the mode selected.
