Cool! I planned it recently, but it never happened :-)

BTW, I think the MI SONIC driver should also be shared with
mac68k and newsmips, then I have some questions:

1) Some SONIC boards for mac68k uses 16-bit mode.
   (see mac68k/dev/if_snvar.h) How is it handled in your driver?

2) It seems that the AP-bus SONIC for newsmips can only transfer
   data into/from on-board memory. How should we handle this?
   Should we implement special bus_dma(9) functions for it
   to perform bounce buffer?

Anyway, I can test your driver on my Express5800/230.
