We need not bail out as soon as there is a pending frame in a queue.
There is a possibility that it could be transmitted successfully by
the time the given timeout expires.

Hi Vasanth,
	the timeout is before we enter into the loop for checking pending
frames, so I thought it won't be affecting it. am I missing something?
please tell me.

I meant the total timeout (200ms). Even though there are frames in
tx queues after the given timeout for that particular queue, it is
quite possible that those frames can be completed successfully by
the time we are done with the waiting on the last queue.

Ok Vasanth.

thanks,
shafi
