On some hardware no TX done interrupts are generated, thus special
100Hz timer interrupt is required to handle this situation properly.
Other device do not require that timer interrupt feature.

Patch add a "disable_timerirq" option to disable interrupt timer 
mentioned above. This may be extremely usefull for laptop users.
