3c59x.

No complaints here. Just thought you might like to know.

As I said above, 3c59x.

I discovered something else, though.

in gnumach-1.1.92-1 it lists off 3c59x and THEN ne2k whereas
gnumach-1.1.92-2 only lists 3c59x.

Also, I don't know if 3c59x detection schemes are supposed to, but it
doesn't mention what IRQ it was probed at or anything. the ne2k detect
scheme does so.


It's about time I compiled my own gnumach anyway. :)
