 Oops - I was unclear above...

 I meant to say since 2.1.7.1.  Last friday, and even newer version
of the aha2940 driver was put into "2.2-STABLE".  My question #1
above should have been

  "Has that newer aha2940 driver been back-ported to 2.1-STABLE
(e.g. post 2.1.7.1)?"

p.s. Could you check your sendmail.cf; it routed this uucp mail
     through ucbvax.Berkely.Edu which doesn't exist anymore.  You
     probably want to replace that with "uu.uunet.net", or some
     other known UUCP relay.
