[ 198.720740] eth0: Transmit timeout, status
00000204 00000000
timer routine checks the link status and if it's up calls
netif_carrier_on() allowing upper layer to start the tx queue
even if the auto-negotiation process is not finished.
Also remove ugly auto-negotiation check from the sis900_start_xmit()
