 Many moons ago, I was working on a driver that joerg@ started.  I was
 promised docs, but never received them (you know who you are :), and
 now I have long lost access to the hardware I tested it on (J2585B PCI
 card on a 100VG hub, is the J2585A PCI too?)  So if someone who still
 has the hardware wants to pick up where I left I can send them what I
 have.  The driver seemed to work with the J2585B card, talking to the
 100VG hub, but it still exhibited a strange problem that the DOS and
 linux drivers I looked at didnt seem to have (for which Joerg had already
 found a workaround tho), and, unlike the linux driver, it didnt do DMA.
 The last time I updated it was for FreeBSD 4.6 (iirc), so obviously for
 6.1 (or even committing to HEAD) it would at least need updating and
 testing again. (and made MPSAFE...)
 
  Any takers?
