We've been running FreeBSD systems (Currently 2.1.7's and 2.2.1's) with
3C509 cards in them for a while.  I'm curious about the driver support for
the 3C900 (Etherlink XL) card.  I know the support exists, but how *IS*
it?  Even though LINT says the 3C509 support is buggy, we've never had an
issue of the systems not working, crashing, etc...

Basically, is the 3C900 support mature enough to use in a live situation?
