fix bug that disabled broadcast reception; also fix another (endianness) bug

A recent change which added multicast support to the ne2000 driver introduced a
bug where reception of broadcasts was always disabled.

Also, the ne2000 driver only worked on little-endian CPUs.

Both (unrelated) issues are fixed by the same patch (sorry, I just don't have
the time to file 2 separate reports).


NOTE: the multicast support apparently was added on rtems-4-9-branch,
rtems-4-10-branch and the HEAD. Hence, all these three branches need to be
patched.

(for starters: the file c/src/lib/libbsp/i386/pc386/ne2000/ne2000.c needs to be
patched; the driver should really be in libchip. With the endianness bug fixed
it should work on big-endian CPUs, too (tested under prep-ppc-qemu).
