Here is the first of several individual patches to 2.6.3 for the pcnet32 driver. The driver did not properly serialize accesses to chip registers, resulting in reading/writing the wrong register. This patch eliminates this problem and gets rid of the cause of the symptom of 'bus master arbitration failure'. It was easier to use generic_mii_ioctl than modify the current pcnet32_ioctl routine with the necessary locks. This has been re-tested on an IA32 system.
