Yes, a quick look shows 79c970a has one rx/tx buffer management mode

Without this patch I had ~500 byte/second transfers with qemu-system-sparc,
now it network speed is much better :)
Good work!

Hi!lance.c emulation implements incorrect algorithm to scan receive/transmit descriptors: - it scans a whole ring of descriptors instead of stopping at first owned by host - it skips buffers in corner cases
- card is not reset, current rx/tx descriptor number is not reset when card is stopped by d
