Ahh, good to hear! Maybe Bill Paul can help you with it (he's the guy
who did the 3c905B (xl) and ThunderLAN (tl) ethernet driver)... I think
he has now really good knowledge of those internals. His email address
is <wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu>.

Hmm, I don't know for what source routing exactly is (I know it's needed
for some IBM protocols in a bridged environment).

Anyway, thanks!
