Subject: [PATCH 2/7] sky2: status ring race fix

From: Stephen Hemminger <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 05 Nov 2007 15:52:09 -0800

The D-Link PCI-X board (and maybe others) can lie about status
ring entries. It seems it will update the register for last status
index before completing the DMA for the ring entry. To avoid reading
stale data, zap the old entry and check.
