mc32_load_tx_ring - load transmit ring  

SYNOPSIS

"SYNOPSIS"

void mc32_load_tx_ring (struct net_device * dev);

dev
The 3c527 card to issue the command to
 

DESCRIPTION

This sets up the host transmit data-structures.

First, we obtain from the card it's current postion in the tx ring, so that we will know where to begin transmitting packets.

Then, we read the 'next' pointers from the on-card tx ring into our tx_ring array to reduce slow shared-mem reads. Finally, we intitalise the tx house keeping variables.
