[This] is a full rewrite of the net code updated to 2.0.4 and tested
using NE2k emulator on bochs.  It has been fully tested on real boards
using 16 and 32 bits Minix 2.0.0 and 2.0.2.  See the notes on the
included README file.

Notes added by ASW 2004-10-25: I am not able to test this at this time.
I presume changes are needed to /usr/src/kernel/Makefile and
/usr/include/minix/config.h.  I would appreciate feedback from anyone
who tries this.  It looks like a good approach.  It adds 3c509 support.
More importantly, by changing the distribution of function between the
files that support the 8390 basic support and the files that support
specific ethernet cards it may make it easier to add support for
additional card types.
