WE HAVE A RECEIVER OVERRUN
we have to kick the 8390 to get it started again. Problem is that you
have to kick it exactly as NS prescribes in the updated datasheets, or
"the NIC may act in an unpredictable manner." This includes causing
"the NIC to defer indefinitely when it is stopped on a busy network."
Ugh. Called with lock held. Don’t call this with the interrupts off or
your computer will hate you - it takes 10ms or so.
