Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2009 14:56:44 +0300 (EEST)

 After running the patch from this PR for some days I still got some 
 watchdog timeouts. As another approach, I'm trying the driver revision 1.4 from 
 /src/sys/dev/xl/ (8.x sourcetree) which compiled clean on my system with 
 sources updated as of today.
 
 My uname -a:
 
 FreeBSD xxx.org 7.2-STABLE FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #10: Sun Aug  9 14:13:47 
 EEST 2009     root@xxx.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MORIA  i386
 
 The reason for trying 1.4 was the commit message:
 
 SVN rev 191345 on 2009-04-21 00:42:11Z by yongari
 
 To make it easy whether xl(4) missed Tx completion interrupt check number 
 of queued packets in watchdog timeout handler. If there are no queued 
 packets just print a informational message and return without resetting 
 controller. Also fix to invoke correct Tx completion handler as 3C905B 
 needs different handler.
 
 I will send a followup after testing the driver for a while - if it seems 
 to work, is there any chance of backporting it for 7.x?
