Subject: [PATCH net-2.6.24] e100: fix driver init lockup on e100_up()

Recent NAPI changes require that napi_enable() is always matched with
a napi_disable(). This patch makes sure that this invariant holds for
e100. It also moves the netif_napi_add() call until after private
pointers have been intialized, though this might only be significant
for cases where netpoll is being used.
