[OpenWrt-Devel] Chaos Calmer 15.05-rc3

[Ben West]

I'm curious if others are affected by this issue:
https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/19085
https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/19579

CC r46069 periodically fails with tx timeout on the eth0 interface on a
UBNT Rocket M5, with reboot being the only resolution.  The same device
flashed to latest BB does not see ethernet tx timeouts, despite heavy load
testing.

It this issue happens to occur on other devices, I would imagine this to be
potentially quite serious.
