Actually, I'm wrong.

But it could still use some looking-at. You don't want to stop_queue at
the beginning of send_packet and wake_queue at the end. Instead, the
queue should be awakened in the Tx completion routine, and the
stop_queue should be moved from the beginning to the end of the function.
