[PATCH] pcnet32: fix bogus carrier errors with 79c973

The 79C973 version of the pcnet32 chipset would report all transmit
operations as being sent with a carrier error.  The root cause was
writing reserved bits in bcr33.  It caused the 973 to report xmit
as errors, and caused 975 and 976 to hard hang when reading bcr34.

My thanks to Bruce Penrod for his help in finding the cause of this
bug.
