Subject: [PATCH] Fix b44 RX FIFO overflow recovery.

Hi,

This patch improves the recovery after a RX FIFO overflow on the b44
Ethernet NIC.
Before it would do a complete chip reset, resulting is loss of link
for a few seconds.
This patch improves this to do recovery in about 20ms without loss of link.

Kind Regards

James
