Realtek's latest is v2.6.6. A few types and definitions have been updated in
these files.
But rtl871x_recv.h's addr_t change has not been accepted: it will break on
64-bit platforms.

Realtek may have made this change, but I'm not sure it should be done here. Under heavy network and CPU loads, I'm not sure that 8 receive buffers would be enough, but cutting it to 4 seems unwise. Perhaps an embedded system with limited RAM would find that change useful. I propose leaving it at 8, but add a comment.

Does this work with 64-bit systems? I have not tested, but changing from addr_t to uint looks wrong.
