o remove some commented code that will never be implemented.
o Don't try to send a packet and see if it worked. We don't
need this anymore, and it doesn't add any value.
o tweaks for BNC and AUI.
o limit possible time hung in the kernel to 4s rather than 40s.

- Add a mutex to the softc to protect the softc and the device hardware.
- Add a private timer to manage transmit watchdogs rather than using
if_timer/if_watchdog.
- Setup the interrupt handler after ether_ifattach().

if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit. if_xname is the name of the interface
and if_dname/unit are the driver name and instance.
This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo
device creation and configuration symantics.

attached and ifconfigable. The card doesn't interrupt yet.
Also, move towards bus space by introducing new macros/inline
functions which make such a move much easier than before.
These inline functions are setup now to work around an IBM EtherJet
pccard cardbus bridge incompatibility. The card works in 8 bit mode,
but not in 16-bit mode when it is connected to a cardbus bridge for
reasons unknown. The Linux driver also has a similar workaround in
it.
Future work will include making the above workaround runtime
conditional rather than compile time conditional, as well as fixing
the interrupts in pccards and converting it to bus space.

EtherJet ISA card. The pccard one isn't known to work because the
EtherJet pccard I purchased recently arrived DOA :-(. I'll commit the
pccard.conf entry when the replacement card arrives.
I plan on MFC this in a week or two.
