[l4ankh] Problems with fixed l4ankh

Hi!
I had fixed the l4ankh driver and after that it started to work properly. Now 
only thread is used to receive packets. In lines 158-162 we clear the rcv 
buffer: that is necessary to be done as after opening a session we start to 
receive packets that should not be served; otherwise the response time will be 
quite slow. This is not the best solution, but I do not have time to make it 
better.
Now I face the following problem: the driver in ankh (I use 8139cp) stops 
receiving packets after some time (for me it is usually 3-4 minutes). This 
situation occurs when  the interrupt handler was called and the device 
register IntrStatus already equals "zero". An interrupt doesn't work after 
that.
