Well, I'm *almost* there getting this driver to work well (it's now
*just* managing to run without barfing all over memory). It's been a 
humiliating experience- I'm just not that hot with Network drivers as I
spend most of my time in mass storage. This chipset is, uh, interesting
too (as best as I can tell, any transmit decriptor of less than 60 bytes 
in length is either ignored or sent out with a frame error). And because
I'm less experienced in doing NIC drivers, I'm sure folks will say, "You
did WHAT? Why did you do that?"...


So, I have some other items to take care of, but I plan to put this out
for testing in a couple of weeks (slipped my original schedule, didn't
I?).. Just wanted to let you know I hadn't forgotten and dropped it on the
floor...
