    Subject[PATCH] atl1c: dont use highprio tx queue
    From
    Date
    This driver attempts to use two TX rings but lacks proper support :

    1) IRQ handler only takes care of TX completion on first TX ring
    2) the stop/start logic uses the legacy functions (for non multiqueue
    drivers)

    This means all packets witk skb mark set to 1 are sent through high
    queue but are never cleaned and queue eventualy fills and block the
    device, triggering the infamous "NETDEV WATCHDOG" message.

    Lets use a single TX ring to fix the problem, this driver is not a real
    multiqueue one yet.

    Minimal fix for stable kernels.
