[PATCH 2/2] be2net: Bug fix to send config commands to hardware after netdev_register

[Ajit Khaparde]

Sending config commands to be2 hardware before netdev_register is
completed, is sometimes causing the async link notification to arrive
even before the driver is ready to handle it. The commands for vlan
config and flow control settings can infact wait till be_open.
This patch takes care of that.
