Subject: Realtek 8139 Flow Control?

Hello!

I have just a short question.

We have appliances with Realtek 8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) chipsets (with the
PCI IDs: 10ec:8139). We are using the 8139too driver (version: 0.9.28)
According the datasheet the chipset supports Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x).

I want to know, if the support for enabling flow control is missing in
the driver by purpose or is only not implemented due to missing time?

Regards
 Sven
