Hi,
while playing around with powertop, I noticed that my power usage wasn't
what it used to be. In total idle mode, everything was fine, but as soon

backends should also have a non-dma version...
In fact that is already there. Here is the form of
libertas_upload_rx_packet() calls netif_rx() before returning, and it always
