But really it does not reset it. Actually, what I objected to was the general use of the watchdog routine to cover up what is clearly one or more serious bugs in the driver. The watchdog routine in this case is being used in a way that is entirely inappropriate and if removing the kludge causes the driver to occasionally hang, then someone should go find out why and fix it! -DG David Greenman Core Team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
