this version wait LinkUp if the cable connected.
all packet will be discarded when LinkStatus is down.

v1.02
fix issues:

issue 1:
when there is only one NIC/LOM in system, our driver will not install correctly.
if I type "config" command, "no board name defined" shown.
the root cause is the driver not call the function:

CMSMParseDriverParameters(&DriverParameterBlock, NULL),
so the driver will not get some std parameters.

issue 2:

DHCP will not get IP address (system hang) while using Client32 for DOS.

to solve this problem and revise the lest code I Update TXWritePtr for packets
during LinkStatus lost, but DO NOT update the Mailbox.
AS SOON AS the Link is up, update Mailbox to xmit these pending packets.
