I have just merged Chuck Cranor's ATM driver to FreeBSD-3.0-current
today.  The driver has been integrated into NetBSD and OpenBSD for a
while and supports ENI and Adaptec 155M cards.  Adaptec is much better
in hardware design, at least, for the driver.

The driver currently supports only PVCs.  No ATMARP nor multicast is
supported.
