Looking forward to hearing about it. You may have yourself a
community-support sideline if you're not careful. #8^)

I'm not sure what part of AmigaDOS you mean. There's no OS-native
support for the NIC; instead, there are different versions of the
eb920.device available on Aminet, one for each possible interrupt
setting. And Miami's MNI drivers accept desired interrupt as a
configuration parameter, so it's flexible that way.
