>Description:

am7990.c rev 1.33 causes a panic in ipintr() on a DECstation when the
network is started.  I suspect that other CPUs that don't support
unaligned accesses will encounter the same problem.

>How-To-Repeat:

Build a -current kernel for a pmax as at 1997-04-24.

>Fix:

Reverting to rev 1.30 of am7990.c works around this problem for me.  I
don't know whether it's better to do that, or to rework ipintr() to
handle the mbuf chains that am7990.c now produces.
