Restricted, but you can find the specs for the 8186 floating around on the =
net=20
which tells you a bit about the registers. Doesn't tell you anything about=

the rx/tx path of the usb variant, which is a bit inferior to the rx/tx pat=
h=20
of the pci chips. There's no easy way to do tx ack reporting on the rtl8187=
=2E=20
The only solutions that could work involve some polling or a different rate=

control algorithm.
