we have to kick the 8390 to get it started
again. Problem is that you have to kick it exactly as NS prescribes in
the updated datasheets, or ``the NIC may act in an unpredictable manner.''
This includes causing ``the NIC to defer indefinitely when it is stopped
on a busy network.''  Ugh.
Called with lock held. Don't call this with the interrupts off or your
computer will hate you - it takes 10ms or so.
