.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This routine issues a CU Start or CU Resume command to the 82558/9.
This routine was added because the prepare_ext_xmit_buff takes advantage
of the 82558/9's Dynamic TBD chaining feature and has to start the CU as
soon as the first TBD is ready. 
.PP
e100_start_cu must be called while holding the tx_lock !
