Subject: [PATCH 2/2] 8139cp: Call __cp_set_rx_mode() from cp_tx_timeout()

Unless we reset the RX config, on real hardware I don't seem to receive
any packets after a TX timeout.

Now it does actually recover from the TX timeout, lots of the time.
Sometimes it still hits that IRQ storm, which probably explains the
apparent lockup right after the 'popf'... although I thought we handled
it more gracefully than that these days.

That's probably a race with the RX handling code, or something. I'll
try harder to reproduce the TX timeout with the debugging enabled.
Which might shed some light on this, and also on the reason why it
happens in the first place. If we're lucky.
