The ne.c network driver does not appear to tolerate interrupts arriving before

whether it would work even with my latest patches applied - maybe I can find
some time on the weekend to test that.
Stupid ISA-only driver without IRQ sharing support...
The hydra and zorro8390 driver should handle that case fine, as interrupts are
shared on Amiga.
Geert: is there some way for kernel network drivers to figure out whether the
network subsystem has been initialized, and hold off interrupt processing
before that time? I'm using 'if (netif_running(dev))' in atari_ethernec but
that does not appear to prevent the lockup.
Doesn't the driver know when it's configured?
