I think that is actually correct behavior. It says we want to discard
packets instead of queuing them if the NIC is stopped.
This patch is incomplete. Previously the NIC never woke up after
ne2000_buffer_full() transitioned false -> true. Now the NIC never
queues packets anymore.
ne2000_receive() needs to be changed to:
if (s->cmd & E8390_STOP) {
return -1;
}
if (ne2000_buffer_full(s)) {
return 0;
}
This moves the old .can_receive() behavior into .receive().
Flush calls need to be added to each of the locations where
ne2000_buffer_full() transitions from true -> false.
