Subject: [PATCH 2.6.12.1 7/12] S2io: Timer based slow path handling

From: [email-masked]
Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2005 15:32:46 -0700 (PDT)

Hi,
This patch implements the slow-path handling functions(link
state change, hardware errors) as a timer. It is not 
handled in interrupt handler as was done previously.
