The 'who ever it was' was me - I've just been too busy with other things of late
to work on the driver. The NetBSD sources weren't actually a lot of use, as the
8390 driver is completely different, and ARM hardware support is completely different
etc etc etc. I spent quite a while pottering around the EtherH driver trying to
understand the hardware interfacing etc - [is this documented anywhere? I couldn't
find it] clutching my copy of O'Reilly's 'Writing Linux Device Drivers'. I have since
been given the header file for the RiscOS driver, so I should be able to make more
progress soon.
