Subject: [PATCH 11/18] spidernet: increase the NAPI weight

From: [email-masked] (Linas Vepstas)
Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2007 14:43:31 -0500

Another way of minimizing the likelyhood of RX ram from overflowing
is to empty out the entire rx ring every chance we get. Change
the crazy watchdog timeout from 50 seconds to 3 seconds, while
we're here.
