The RS bit is used to instruct the NIC to update the TX descriptor status byte. The RPS bit is used to instruct the NIC to defer this update until after the packet has been transmitted on the wire (rather than merely read into the transmit FIFO). The driver currently sets RPS but not RS. Some e1000 models seem to interpret this as implying that the status byte should be updated; some don't. On the ones that don't, we never see any TX completions and so rapidly run out of TX buffers. Fix by setting the RS bit in the TX descriptor. (We don't care about when the packet reaches the wire, so don't bother setting the RPS bit.)
