From: OGAWA Hirofumi I received report that transmission of Realtek 8139 doesn't work. The cause of this problem was CLKRUN protocols of laptop's TI 12xx CardBus bridge. CLKRUN is used for controlling the PCI clock by PCI devices (for power saving). If device has bug, probably it becomes the cause of stopping the PCI clock at an unexpected timing. In the problem of realtek 8139 case, the TX packet which the driver set to the device was not sent out (still pending state in device). If "disable_clkrun" is enabled, the problem of TX stopped occurring. So, I thought the cause is CLKRUN, and is hardware bug of Cardbus or realtek 8139. (8139 seems only can control by rewriting EEPROM) And looks like also http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q294465 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;182591 has the problem of CLKRUN. And I remember that this problem had happened on Thinkpad before. In the case, problem seems solved by similar workaround of sound/oss/cs46xx.c. This patch adds "disable_clkrun" option as workaround of problem to yenta_socket.
