	...and if someone does the actual integration to -current,
	I'm willing to help to test it, since I have access to both
	cards and ATM LAN.

If someone has a IDT NICStAR and is willing/able to boot a kernel
with a n attempt of a start of a driver. My cards were at one time
making some transmission interrupts, and the buffer information looked
reasonable, but now they do not and I can't tell if it some driver
error or my cards (I even went back to my miscellanous code snapshots and
they don't respond like they use to).

I would like to know these cards are bad before I complain to IDT or buy
a new one.
