[tulip] problems with 92t tulip driver

[Chip Rodden]

On a i386 box running SuSe 6.4 with a patched 2.2.13 kernel and a
dual port SMC card.  I get the following messages:

Feb  3 11:23:39 jackson kernel: eth3: Restarted Rx at 5765695 / 5765695.
Feb  3 11:23:39 jackson kernel: eth3: Too much work during an interrupt, 
csr5=0xf06980c0.

The driver never is able to recover from this and thereafter
will not send or receive data.  Turning on any tulip debugging
results in a hiesenberg problem.

We have been using version 89H with no problems and it is always
able to recover from being overloaded.  It is also results in
much slower throughput so we would like to upgrade, but we need
a driver that can recover from being overloaded.
