Upon further testing, I've discovered that the driver neglects to tear
down the ISR.

fixes the problem, but may also have some stray goo in it too.

Note: I'm only able to test 10BaseT at the moment.  10Base2 is
possible with a dongle I have at home, but I have no 10Base2 media.
10Base5 isn't possible for me to test at all.

Note 2: Although I have the ISA version of the EtherJet, I don't think
I have any ISA machines setup for testing.

cs0: <IBM EtherJet PC Card> at port 0xa100-0xa10f irq 20 function 0 config 1 on pccard0
cs0: CS8920M rev F media TP AUI BNC
cs0: failed to enable TP
cs0: failed to enable BNC
cs0: failed to enable AUI
cs0: bpf attached
cs0: Ethernet address: 00:20:35:de:f9:4f
cs0: [MPSAFE]
cs0: [ITHREAD]
cs0: detached

The failed to enable messages are the same as before.  I'm having some
problems with my test setup, which means I'm no longer as sure as I
was before that I actually passed packets with this card....  But that
will have to wait for tomorrow to track down...
