of blocking on asynchronous operations, when that isn't an important
aspect of the code.

will enable us to cascade async operations, which is necessary in order to
properly support DNS.  (For example, an HTTP request may have to redirect
to a new location and will have to perform a new DNS lookup, so we can't
just rely on doing the name lookup at the time of parsing the initial
URL).

Anything other than HTTP is probably broken right now; I'll fix the others
up asap.

Add "dev" pointer in struct net_device to tie network interfaces back to a
hardware device.

Force natural alignment of data types in __table() macros.  This seems to
prevent gcc from taking the unilateral decision to occasionally increase
their alignment (which screws up the table packing).

of alloc_pkb() exhaustion when e.g. an iSCSI-booted DOS session is left
idle for a long time at the C:\ prompt and builds up a huge packet
backlog.

of the packet buffer.  Although pkbuffs are guaranteed to be at least
PKB_ZLEN bytes long, there's no guarantee that the data starts at the
start of the packet buffer.

Since we have to align data for rtl8139 anyway, and since the start of
the packet buffer is guaranteed to be aligned to PKB_ALIGN, we may as
well just shuffle the packet down so that it starts at the start of
the packet buffer.  This simultaneously aligns the packet and ensures
that there is enough room for the zero-padding.

(which will need us to wait for TX completions).

Call netdevice's poll() and transmit() methods only when device is open.

Temporarily hacked rtl8139.c to use the new interface.

Added CHAP authentication

non-standard name, but for now it's the one to use.)

There should be no need to include vsprintf.h just for DBG() statements,
since include/compiler.h forces it in for a debug build anyway.
