To whom it may concern,

Based on the already provided support for 3c556(B) in the xl driver I hav=
e =20
added six lines of code to make the driver work for 3c555 as well.

I did the change under 4.4, however, an analysis of the bsd web cvs showe=
d=20
that in neither 4.7 nor HEAD such an addition has been applied as of this=
=20
writing. The change is as easily applied in HEAD as in 4.4 or above.

The change appears to be stable under any mix of hot or cold boot conditi=
ons=20
between different OS' (BSD4.4, Linux).

The 3c555 (Vortex Laptop Hurricane) can be found in e.g. Gateway Solo3150=
=2E

Please let me know if interested in including this change in HEAD (BSD5).

Cheers

Johannes
