I just did a test on 7.1-BETA2. With the Nov-14 if_ale.c, I immediately 
hit the problem (35.4KB/s+messages). Applying r185576 and r185577 solved 
the problem (10.2MB/s+no messages).

Thank you very much!

In the commit message, there is no MFC date. Can this go into 7.1? (I 
see that the driver without the patch is already there.)

Cheers,
