Well, they do exist but they are probably going away too. I don't see anyone really interested in hacking on them, so they are staying just as long as they continue to work. Which may not be that long... E.g. my nice triple lanstreamer card doesn't work after upgrading the rest of the system to 64bit, as the original driver does a whole lot of magic DMA access and no-one has cleaned it up for 64bit. So the driver is disabled for 64bit systems. I don't think anyone will bother to fix it. I briefly looked at it, and found that there's definitely a reason why this was just disabled. It's a mess. The card is in the attic now, with the rest of my Token Ring stuff. Except for a Cisco 2612 which serves as an Ethernet/Serial only router.
