+ *
+ * Description:
+ * If there are any Rx frames queued up or otherwise present in the HW
+ * before RSS is enabled, and then we enable RSS, the HW Rx unit will
+ * hang. To work around this issue, we have to disable receives and
+ * flush out all Rx frames before we enable RSS. To do so, we modify we
+ * redirect all Rx traffic to manageability and then reset the HW.
+ * This flushes away Rx frames, and (since the redirections to
+ * manageability persists across resets) keeps new ones from coming in
+ * while we work. Then, we clear the Address Valid AV bit for all MAC
+ * addresses and undo the re-direction to manageability.
+ * Now, frames are coming in again, but the MAC won't accept them, so
+ * far so good. We now proceed to initialize RSS (if necessary) and
+ * configure the Rx unit. Last, we re-enable the AV bits and continue
+ * on our merry way.
