RealTek 8139 driver, first revision

[Eric Doenges <Eric dot Doenges at DynaPel dot de>]

Hi all,


I've revised my RealTek 8139 driver based on the initial feedback
I've gotten so far. The major changes:

1. Added support for programing the multicast acceptance filters.
   However, since there seems to be no test program to test
   multicasting (and I don't really feel competent to write one,
   since I've never used multicasting before), I couldn't test if
   it actually works.

2. Variable names have been changed to be more in line with the GNU
   coding standards.

3. Interrupt handling is somewhat more streamlined.

4. Debugging output is now a CDL option.

5. Device and vendor IDs are now defined in the platform independent
   part of the driver.

6. The if_8139.h header file is now private to the driver.

7. Toned down my criticism of RealTek's worthless documentation.

All other limitations still apply.

Unfortunately, my boss is currently on vacation so I didn't get
the paperwork for the copyright assignment done yet.

Enjoy,
--
