Dear Donald,

the sleep mode was not the point, the behaviour didn't change. I attached an
actual diag output.

Also I changed some points you suggested to Pavan: set the rx buffer size to
1024. TX_TIMEOUT to 4*HZ.
Also this has no effect.

Pavan, did you have any success with this?

best regards
Bernd
