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?
