The change for PMAD support introduced a bug, where the ownership of RX descriptors was given back to the LANCE in the wrong way. Occasional lockups would happen as a result. This is a fix for this problem. Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Tested with the onboard LANCE of a DECstation 5000/133. Please apply.
