[PATCH] enc28j60: Fix sporadic packet loss

[Baruch Siach]

Packet data read from the RX buffer the when the RSV is at the end of the RX 
buffer does not warp around. This causes packet loss, as the actual data is 
never read. Fix this by calculating the right packet data location.

Thanks to Shachar Shemesh for suggesting the fix.

should be
...
	else
		return ptr + RSV_SIZE;

With this change you can add the line
