 Ah, I use absolute paths for RTNET_KCONFIG_FILE :-)

 Patch coming up!

 Packet split is probably a bad idea for RTnet.  Jumbo could be supported but 
I don't know if there is any current driver that actually does support it.  
MSI interrupts I added because I need them on my own setup.  I didn't include 
MSI-X, though, because I don't understand how that works so I don't trust it.

 VLAN and ethtool are probably not useful for RTnet.  Is there any RTnet 
driver supporting VLAN?

 mii and multicast would be useful additions.  However, I don't need them, so 
I won't spend any time on implementing them.

 Arnout
