NAK, dmfe does not work on some Sparc64 machines but tulip does.

I happent to have a Sun Fire V100 with 2 Davicom NICs (1282:9102 (rev 
31)).
tulip driver works for them, dmfe doesn't. Tried with 2.6.25-rc7, first 
it
gets MAC addresses all zeroed and second, it only results in Tx 
timeouts.

This issue was debugged somemonths ago on sparclinux mailing list. DaveM
fixed some bugs IIRC but it still does not work.

Sun Netra X1 is a similar Sun system with dmfe's.
