From: Colin Ian King colin.king@canonical.com

[ Upstream commit 0fe20fafd1791f993806d417048213ec57b81045 ]

Currently rcode is being initialized to NX_RCODE_SUCCESS and later it is checked to see if it is not NX_RCODE_SUCCESS which is never true. It appears that there is an unintentional missing assignment of rcode from the return of the call to netxen_issue_cmd() that was dropped in an earlier fix, so add it in.
