Yes this is better (ASIX can recover from a timeout), but I am
concerned that it carries on without reporting an error. Is that
right?

Should we disable async schedule and then return an error?

With respect to using a bulk USB stick (some of which take 3s or more
to respond to a submit) this doesn't make any difference for me. It
seems to take a long time to respond the first time, so the 5s timeout
seems prudent.

Since this sorts out the network side we can probably skip that patch.

Regards,
Simon
