Does anyone have knowledge about how to write Xircom ethernet adapter
drivers?

I would like to cons up a 386bsd (BSD 4.3+) driver for my Xircom adapter
connected to a 486 laptop.  Does any PD code exist to talk to them?
(there is a parallel port driver - how hard can it be? ;-)

[I already know about calling Xircom marketing; I was wondering about
freely available code]

If anyone is knowledgeable about this or knows anyone who is, please
send me mail. thanks.
