[hsflinux] AC 97 modem hangs on sending more that ~100-200 KB

[David Mills]

Unfortunately, this version also exhibits the problem.  Can stay connected for 
potentially hours as long as my outgoing traffic never exceeds a very small 
amount at a time.  As soon as it gets biggish (say 10kb+ in a quick 
transmission) then the connection freezes and I no longer get either incoming 
or outgoing traffic.

Could someone please fix the problem.  I'm happy to obtain more info if there 
is anything usful I could gather.

Thanks,

David.
