Hi,

Just curious, why do we have an unconditional #define in netdevice.h for 
HAVE_TX_TIMEOUT, and some drivers (e.g. xirc2ps_cs) using it 
conditionally as if it might be disabled on some builds?

There are other similar defines in netdevice.h too.

Thanks,
Daniel

Ancient back-compat defines, for 2.2-era, pre-softnet code where 
tx_timeout did not exist.
