||        outb(CmdReset, ioaddr + ChipCmd);

||        for (i = 1000; i > 0; i--)
||                if ((inb(ioaddr + ChipCmd) & CmdReset) == 0)

Actually I would make that:

static void rtl_disable(struct nic *nic)
{
	/* reset the chip */
	outb(CmdReset, ioaddr + ChipCmd);

	/* 10 ms timeout */
	load_timer2(10*TICKS_PER_MS);
	while ((inb(ioaddr + ChipCmd) & CmdReset) != 0 && timer2_running())
		/* wait */;
}

and add #include "timer.h" near the top. The hardware timer is more
consistent than a counting loop.
