Not yet. I spent about half a day on it trying to figure out how
Linux did it before discovering that, for some stupid reason, Linux
has two tulip drivers, and I was looking at the wrong one.

There was someone else in the NetBSD mailing lists who expressed
interest in working on this, but he seems to have vanished.

If anybody wants to dive in to fix this, feel free to contact me
by e-mail. It doesn't look that hard, and might be a nice introduction
to device driver programming.
