ecee9324d7 Program net device MAC addresses after initializing
Add a new function to the eth_device struct for programming a network
controller's hardware address.

After all network devices have been initialized and the proper MAC address
for each has been determined, make a device driver call to program the
address into the device.  Only device instances with valid unicast addresses
will be programmed.

e5c5d9e083 clarify eth driver halt/recv steps
The dev->halt() func can be called at any time, and the dev->recv() func
does not need to use NetRxPackets[] when calling NetReceive().
