New Revision: 250355
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/250355

Log:
  Revert a previous commit - this is causing hardware errors.
  
  I'm not sure why this is failing.  The holding descriptor should be being
  re-read when starting DMA of the next frame.  Obviously something here
  isn't totally correct.
  
  I'll review the TX queue handling and see if I can figure out why this
  is failing.  I'll then re-revert this patch out and use the holding
  descriptor again.
