Frame 3 starts to be received and passes the DA filter.
This activates Auto-Switch DMA.

Frame 1 is placed in host memory via DMA freeing
space for the incoming Frame 3. The CS8900A updates
the DMA Frame Count, DMA Start of Frame and DMA
Byte Count registers. It then sets the RxDMA DMAFrame
bit and generates an interrupt.
Frame 2 is placed in host memory via DMA and the
CS8900A updates the DMA registers.
The host responds to the RxDMAFrame interrupt, and
reads the Frame Count register, which is cleared when
read. Since there are no receive interrupts pending, the
CS8900A exits DMA (assumes Frame 3 is still coming in).
Receive DMA used
during this time.
At this point, the CS8900A does not have sufficient buffer
space for another complete large frame (1518 bytes).
Frame 1 received and completely stored in on-chip RAM.
Frame 2 received and completely stored in on-chip RAM.

Time
Frame 3 is completely buffered in on-chip RAM, and
awaits processing by the host.
Entering this example, the receive buffer is empty and the
DMA Frame Count (PacketPage base + 0028h) is zero.
