I can confirm that with these patches applied that my LM842 dongle
now works reliably on my imx6sx board. On the same board the traffic
would previously usually stall after 80-130MB when downloading.

With patches applied I succesfully completed:
wget -O /dev/null http://speedtest.tele2.net/10GB.zip

Uploading did not seem to trigger the problem before but I still
tested and uploading a gigabyte was no problem using:
curl -T /dev/urandom http://speedtest.tele2.net/upload.php  -O /dev/null

Did not attempt the suggested ping method of reproducing on the old
system, but on the new kernel I could do
$ for a in $(seq 128 512); do ping -n -c 3 -s $a ping.sunet.se ; done
without any stalls.


Feel free to add either or both of:
