net: avoid infinite loop when receiving packets(CVE-2015-5278) Ne2000 NIC uses ring buffer of NE2000_MEM_SIZE(49152) bytes to process network packets. While receiving packets via ne2000_receive() routine, a local 'index' variable could exceed the ring buffer size, leading to an infinite loop situation.
