Subject: [net-2.6 PATCH 2/2] qlge: Fix firmware mailbox command timeout.

The mailbox command process would only process a maximum of 5 unrelated
firmware events while waiting for it's command completion status.
It should process an unlimited number of events while waiting for a maximum of 5 seconds.
