It works fine. If I remember right, you get about 190kByte/s using ftp
between a NetBSD/i386 box with a wd8013 and a pc532 with a cabletron
hanging of its ncr5380 controller. AFAIK the driver was only tested
with pc532s up to now, but I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work
on another architecture.
