I have written a NetBSD driver for the Broadcom BCM4401 pci
   ethernet 10/100 chip used by my Dell Inpiron 8500 laptop.
   The information to write this was obtained from the Linux driver,
   which of course is GPL'd. I will e-mail the author at Broadcom, and see
   if a BSD license is possible for this NetBSD version.
   The driver is fully functional, however does not have vlan, or
   flow control support. I also took the short cut of receiveing all
   multicast. It may not be big-endian machine clean, as I have only
   tested it on my laptop. I used the generic phy driver. I thought
   I would wait to see what response I get from Broadcom before going
   any further, however wanted to mention this in case their is interest.
