Sorry for the dumb question:

I have noticed in some of the drivers (f.e. hamachi.c) the following
definition:
#define TX_TIMEOUT (2*HZ)
Doesn't this evaluate to a different value on alpha (or anything with
changed HZ) and other architectures? Can this also be the cause of frequent
board resets when dealing with a lot of small packets?
