Are you sure this will work? The ne-h8300 driver includes "lib8390.c"
in the main source with special configuration parameters such as
EI_SHIFT, but with this patch 8390.o contains another lib8390 instance
with a different configuration that gets tied into the net_device_ops.
I have no hardware and I may misunderstand the code, but please double
check.

I came across this when trying to fix another problem with ax88796.
Basically, another lib8390 patch (link below) forgets the case with
all drivers that include "lib8390.c" which in the ax88796 case results
in a missing start_xmit callback.

Paul, Ben, I have a fix for ax88796 that I'll post in a little while.

Cheers,
