[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] only check RCTL_EN in e1000_can_receive()

[Charles Duffy <Charles_Duffy@messageone.com>]

e1000_receive() has code to raise a receive overflow interrupt when the 
receive buffer head and tail match. However, with the present 
implementation of e1000_can_receive(), this code is unreachable -- and 
etherboot breaks as a result.

The attached quick-and-dirty patch fixes etherboot for e1000, and does 
not appear to break post-boot functionality.
