Well, if you want some help with it, and Phil has some spare cards, and I
can get the docs and specs on the cards, I'll help out with that, too (why
do I get the feeling I'm going to be renamed driver-boy).  I did a bunch
of network card/driver testing and benchmarking at Sun, so I've kinda been
there, done that *sigh*.  I'm perfectly willing to help :)
