ethernet issue with lombard

[jeramy b smith]

Me too. There are 3 new lines in the bmac driver that are in the dbdma_reset .
Ben added them because what they do is also done in darwin. I haven't had a
chance to downgrade my driver and try though. Running in 100tx mode I have
seen it happen whil my bandwidth utilization was very low. I was actually
actively communication each time it got 'gummed up.'
