I recently got my hands on single board computer that comes with a
LAN91C96 ethernet interface (previously known as the SMC9000 series).
While it seems that FreeBSD doesn't support this hardware directly, I was
able to find driver software at the SMC web site.  Sadly, the code is
about three years out of date and written for 2.1-vintage systems.
Naturally, it complains loudly on my 3.1R system.  The code itself is
derived fromn the Linux driver and was written by Gardner Buchanan, whose
email address is also out of date.  So, before I start hacking at this
code to get it working with 3.1R, I was wondering if anyone else has
maintained it or if there is updated contact info for Gardner.

Thanks,
