Uhh, Tom, did you happen to check the hardware compatibility list for
NetBSD before posting this? I didn't think so...

Last time I checked neither one of these cards was supported by NetBSD.
Too bad, since we've got 3 or 4 Rocketports left over from a hardware
product we used to sell, and I'd love to use them with NetBSD.
(I just looked at comtrol's site and they do have a driver in source
form for FreeBSD 2.1, so somebody with slightly more free time than my
negative amount should be able to port it without too much trouble).
