That would be me with the From: address (not the Sender:, thats private). 

On my 2nd try, I got the docs from 3com within 4 days.

I added the support for Stefan Grevens experimental
pcmcia package to it. I had to replace the EEPROM ready test by simple
sleeps, but --- at least on PCMCIA --- it works now.

I hope Stefan will get the time to clean up the pcmcia stuff, adapt it
to the changed isa bus directory etc, and submit it, soon, but
unfortunately, he is very busy these weeks/months(?).
