While there indeed were bugs in the 4.2 ifconfig flag setting code,
that shouldn't have affected the DEUNA; clearly there is a bug in
that version of the driver. (The IFF_RUNNING bit is an internal
bit that really means it has Unibus maps. It should be set at
initialization and cleared during Unibus reset. (Actually IFF_RUNNING
is an internal flag per driver, but that's what it's supposed to
mean.))
