The receive queue depth in rtl8187 may not be long enough to keep the pipe full. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- John, This patch and the locking fix helped the bug #12380 at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/, but the test was not clean, and the OP for that bug has not been able to test. Your call on when it gets included. If I get a clear indication that this patch helps the bug, I'll repost.
