Excuse me, the comment in my patch was wrong. Better would be
/* Enable reception of 802.3x pause frames. */.
My soekris boxes are connected to a slow so called "Ethernet Connect"
line (2 Mbit/s). The line works correct and stable if I respect incoming
RX pause frames from the line. I do not need TX flow-control.

Thanks for your patch. I will test it on next update of my soekris boxes
with sis interfaces. Because they are all remote far away this will need
some time.
