	the patches dont "do" combo cards.
	they let me get the network half of a 3com network/modem
	recognized and "configured".

	i say "configured" because there is an interrupt problem.
	i dont get any!  epwatchdog fires and looks at the card
	but no interrupts, even if i request an interrupt upon
	completion of each transmitted packet.

	i can see the packets hit the wire.
	and once enough pings have been sent, i get a bunch of
	echo response packets....so once i get interrupts the network
	half of the card may just work ;)
