Uchiyama-sama (I like that, it has a ring to it!;-)

I'm unclear as to your CardBus support and see you have the 3c575-TX listed as
a driver for it. A couple of us had talked about porting the Linux 3c574-TX,
the 16 bit little brother of the driver you have.

It would be bad to duplicate effort for a driver as such, and wanted to find
out if you knew of any port in existence. Obviously the 574 is not a CardBus,
so I'm sure you wouldn't be working on it yourself, but you might know of
others that are.

I don't think that Linux has 3c575-TX support today, and your efforts will
surely be appreciated by others, since I know many that do use 3c575-TX cards
on NT.

Does NetBSD also have a 3c574-TX driver completed already? I've only see the
Linux driver as available other than the 9x/NT driver which 3Com ships
themself.
