   I want to support full duplex in the fxp (Pro/100B) driver, but I haven't
been able to get it to work. The Pro/100B is well supported; it's what I'm
using in wcarchive and I haven't had any problems. It consumes about half
the CPU time that the de driver does and has about the same level of
performance (actually slightly better than the DEC chip).
