I will fix this in the fullness of time. I'd like to split out the linksys "front end" from the rest of the "ed" driver to create a new driver called "lsys" or some other boring short name. This would solve much of the hackery that goes on with the ed driver. I'm still not sure how to thread it all togehter, and I'm certainly not advocating copying if_ed and doing a query replace to get if_lsys, more like the separate front ends that NetBSD did. I'd also like to split out the wd89xx based cards from ed as well. And maybe the axioms (I haven't looked at the places that impacts). I think this is doable, but I won't have the time to do this all the way for a few weeks. In the short term, I'll likely introduce an option ED_INCLUDE_MII, move the mii code to its own file and see why pci is required. In addition to the pccard bug that des pointed me at (I think I even have patches from a few folk in my mailbox for that).
