  1781	 *
  1782	 *	This function handles timed functionality for the
  1783	 *	TLAN driver.  The two current timer uses are for
  1784	 *	delaying for autonegotionation and driving the ACT LED.
  1785	 *	-	Autonegotiation requires being allowed about
  1786	 *		2 1/2 seconds before attempting to transmit a
  1787	 *		packet.  It would be a very bad thing to hang
  1788	 *		the kernel this long, so the driver doesn't
  1789	 *		allow transmission 'til after this time, for
  1790	 *		certain PHYs.  It would be much nicer if all
  1791	 *		PHYs were interrupt-capable like the internal
  1792	 *		PHY.
  1793	 *	-	The ACT LED, which shows adapter activity, is
  1794	 *		driven by the driver, and so must be left on
  1795	 *		for a short period to power up the LED so it
  1796	 *		can be seen.  This delay can be changed by
  1797	 *		changing the TLAN_TIMER_ACT_DELAY in tlan.h,
  1798	 *		if desired.  100 ms  produces a slightly
  1799	 *		sluggish response.
