To NE2100 users:

A patch to make the driver of ISOLINK to work also with NE2100 is avairable.
You can get it from
ftp.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp:/BSD/386bsd-fj/NE2100/FreeBSD-1.0-EPSILON.patch
This patch is also avairable for NetBSD-0.9 (You may see some warnings
when patching, but ignore them), but you cannot apply it to NetBSD-0.8.

I have tested the driver on my 486DX50-ISA and my NE2100-compatible card.
But I'm not sure if the driver works on Novell's "REAL" NE2100 cards.
I also want to make it sure that the patched driver still works on
ISOLINK cards.

If you are interested and want to be a beta-tester, please get the patch
and send me the result. If no major problem exists, I want to contribute
this patch to NetBSD/FreeBSD developement group.

Sorry for my funny English.
