The idea was that all non-rx events that were pending at the start of the function have been Acked at this point, by writing to the IntrMask register before processing the particular event. If the same kind of event arrives after the Ack, then opening in the mask should immediately trigger the interrupt handler, which reactivates the poll function.
Ok, it works, indeed. The overall bitrate seems lower somewhat. I'll re-test and benchmark some few variants (e.g. with and without busy loop) and report my findings. Thank you, Regards, Nikolai
