I've been hacking on the IBM LANstreamer for the past week or so and have
something that transmits and receives.

I thought I'd make the code availble for anyone that wants to try it out
as I suspect I've got one or 2 bugs in the RX mbuf management code.

I'd also like to solicit users with FDX token-ring switches and these
cards.  Email me directly.

Known problems:

	- receiving packets larger than 2k doesn't work yet.
	- low throughput.
	- ifmedia stuff doesn't yet work.
	- feature minimal.
	- no support for the MCA version of this adapter.
	- unloading module may leak memory.

I'm still sorting out some of the code layout and abstraction between the
OS dependent portion of the driver and the independent portion.

Untar the tar-file and build the module in the module directory.
