You're right, the recieve end is questionable. It is interrupt based, so
techinically I shouldn't need the wait cycle, there should be packet
available.

There are two recieve buffers, perhaps both have a packet. Right now I
cycle between packets on the interrupt, this is probably not correct. I
haven't thought of good fix, perhaps the network stack needs to modified
to accept more than one packet. I wanted to keep compatabilty with the
Realtek driver so you swap one driver for another.
