NAME

mc32_command_nowait - send a command non blocking

SYNOPSIS

"SYNOPSIS"

int mc32_command_nowait (struct net_device * dev, u16 cmd, void * data, int len);

ARGUMENTS

dev: The 3c527 to issue the command to
cmd: The command word to write to the mailbox
data: A data block if the command expects one
len: Length of the data block

DESCRIPTION

Send a command from interrupt state. If there is a command currently being executed then we return an error of -1. It simply isn't viable to wait around as commands may be slow. Providing we get in, we busy wait for the board to become ready to accept the command and issue it. We do not wait for the command to complete --- the card will interrupt us when it's done.
