: Four fixes from NetBSD:

: but more testing is needed. The tests that would wedge up my machine

I've just confirmed that this makes my 3Com AirConnect (aka 3CRWE737A)
work where before it wouldn't work at all with my access point. Rumor
has it that there are a number of minor bugs (ahem compatbility
issues) with the Symbol firmware that the Linux driver works around in
various ways that aren't in this code (nor in NetBSD's nor OpenBSD's
versions).
In fact, this message is posted using the '737A card that Bill Paul
destroyed at FreeBSDcon '99 and that I pieced back together.
