Question about use of PMAD-AA ethernet adapter on Decstation

[Len Sorensen <lsorense@opengraphics.com>]

I haven't managed to get my add on ethernet card to work in Debian Linux
yet on my Decstation 5000/133.  I was looking through the kernal patch
for mips, and saw this code:

#if 0
  /* We use this driver for the onboard LANCE only */

        /* Scan slots for PMAD-AA cards first. */
 #ifdef CONFIG_TC
        if (TURBOCHANNEL) {
[snip]
               }
       }
#endif
#endif

This looks to me as if it purposely makes the PMAD-AA not even an option
to use, although I was told at one point that supposedly it should work.

Does anyone have an update on the status of the driver?
