made only the most superficial changes so far to HARDWARE.TXT and
eliminated the stuff I absolutely knew didn't work. That still leaves
a lot of work to do and this is mostly just a place-holder for now.
init(8) cannot decrease securelevel. The manual page explains this
and single_user() doesn't try to downgrade kernel to insecure mode.

rewrite the pccard attachment case. This is a work in progress, but
doesn't break the isa case.
I left the #if 0...#endif around the pccard stuff, at Peter's request,
so that normal users don't shoot themselves in the foot.

start printing out probe messages for pccards stating the resources
used and regularize many of the pccard printfs.

I have an 82559 card with the same id as the other 8255[78] chips, but
that was made with a date code of 0699 (June 99). The submitter shows
this working with the probe etc, but doesn't actually say it works as
on the ethernet. :-) Assuming it does, this is a RELENG_3 merge candidate.

the Davicom DM9100 and DM9102 chipsets, including the Jaton Corporation
XPressNet. Datasheet is available from www.davicom8.com.
The DM910x chips are still more tulip clones. The API is reproduced
pretty faithfully, unfortunately the performance is pretty bad. The
transmitter seems to have a lot of problems DMAing multi-fragment
packets. The only way to make it work reliably is to coalesce transmitted
packets into a single contiguous buffer. The Linux driver (written by
Davicom) actually does something similar to this. I can't recomment this
NIC as anything more than a "connectivity solution."
This driver uses newbus and miibus and is supported on both i386
and alpha platforms.
