Depending upon the loop calibration method used by a particular architecture it can me one of many different things. Some platforms don't even make use of it and thus leave it at it's default value of "1<<12", so using it as a heuristic here is arbitrary at best. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
