v1.19 (1999/04/15) updates the CEM56/REM56 support.
Current bugs & misfeatures
--------------------------
* CE2 cards still not working reliably. Unclear if this is related to
packet I/O code or interrupt handling.
* Autonegotiation support remains flaky. We're now OK with 10Mbit auto
hubs, but certain combination of hardware will fail to connect.

v1.18 (1999/04/08) adds support for CEM56 and REM56 multifunction cards.

v1.17 (1999/03/28) has xperimental fixes to 10Mbit autonegotiation and
CE2 input lockup.
KNOWN BUGS
==========
* Media auto-negotiation is definitely not right. It will work in most
circumstances and seems to connect OK to most 100Mbit networks, however some
pathological combinations of hubs/networks/peers seem to confuse it.
* CE2 support is somewhat flakey (ranging from 'works perfectly' to 'hangs the
machine' so far). I've fixed the probe routine and a potential lockup in
the output routine, but a lot of people still report that they can't receive
or transmit.
* You won't be able to use the modem and Ethenet parts of a multifunction card
simultaneously. This is limitation the current FreeBSD PCMCIA support.
Likewise, there is no support for CardBus devices.

v1.16 (1999/03/08) fixed BPF input hang and infinite loop on CE2
short-packet output.

This driver is mostly based on the `xirc2ps' driver for Linux by Werner
Koch. Werner has even allowed his code to be distributed under a BSD licence,
making our life considerably easier -- thanks Werner!
This driver supports:
* Intel EtherExpress(TM) PRO/100 PCCARD (16-bit version)
* Xircom CreditCard CE2 / CEM28 / CEM33 / CE3 / CEM56 Ethernet adapters.
* Toshiba Advanced Network 10/100 PCCARD
* Certain Compaq Netelligent 10/100 branded cards
v1.14 has major changes to media selection code, and bugfixes in the
probe routine.
