I don't think so. We need sub-second units. Furthermore, the timeout-sec 
(if I understand it correctly) updates the "timeout policy", which tells 
the expected ping-interval. This can be different from the "HW 
heart-beat" which tells the HW's ping expectation. Hence the "hw-" prefix.

This just about summarizes my feelings when I try write the bindings. XD 
I do feel completely lost. Hence I do really appreciate someone like you 
taking the time to help me through ^^;

Enjoy the Seattle!

Yours,
