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?

PS: sorry i didn't see this earlier...
