[PATCH] natsemi: NAPI and a bugfix

Browse source

As documented in National application note 1287 the RX state machine on
the natsemi chip can lock up under some conditions (mostly related to
heavy load).  When this happens a series of bogus packets are reported
by the chip including some oversized frames prior to the final lockup.

This patch implements the fix from the application note: when an
oversized packet is reported it resets the RX state machine, dropping
any currently pending packets.
