return 0 instead of EINVAL. In this case, there will only be one media
type, and the upper-level if_media code will ensure that the user is
setting to that type.
This matches changes Jason made a while back to sys/dev/ic/lance.c
directly, call the function pointer (*if_input)(ifp, m). The input routine
expects the packet header to be at the head of the packet, and will adjust
as necessary. Privatize the layer 2 input and output routines, allowing
*_ifattach() to set them up as appropriate.
if the chip is reset while transmitting.

This occurs at boot time because the SIOCADDMULTI always resets the interface
when adding the `all hosts groups' -- usually while the ARP packet is being
transmitted. All drivers should be fixed to not reset the interface when
changing the multicast filter, if possible.
This allows the front end to override the default DCR (byte-wide DMA,
x86 byte order, 8-byte FIFO) with different transfer size, byte order, DMA
parameters, and FIFO threshhold. If the loopback select bit is not set for
normal operation, the default is used instead.
