>Description:
	If the Ethernet is too busy, the ne driver may hang.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Use ne at a excessively busy Ethernet (full of broadcasts).

>Fix:
	Unknown.  Possibly,
	 1. find and correct race conditions if any,
	 2. fix problem (if any) in discarding received packets, or
	 3. implement timeouts for expected interrupts.
