Hi all,

I fixed yesterday the if_dc driver to make this card working again.
I'm happy if you could do some testing there if the card does now
work for you. I just fixed the DM9102A case, so I'm very very interested
if it is also needed for the other cards.

I need someone who owns a DM9102 or a DM9100 or DM90XX card. If you
have such a card, can ypu please test if you can ping ?

The problem has been the 'zero copy' network code commit by luigi
in late 2001, where the alignment of the TX mbufs has been
removed generally and (accidently) did not got restored for this card.

Because if this, FreeBSD R4.5 - R4.8 had broken Davicom cards. It will be
fixed in FreeBSD 4.9R.

Martin
