Hi folks,
       Ok this is just a heads up on a driver change I am about to commit.
The EtherM and EtherH drivers are being replaced with podulebus
attachments to the MI NE2000 driver (Thanks to Mike Pumford for the EtherH
attachments). A consequence of this will be that users building kernels
from -current will find that there is not longer an eh0 or em0 device for
there netslot interfaces. Instead both these netslot interfaces will
appears as ne0 instead.
This will mean you will need to modify rc.conf etc. if you use a kernel
build from sources after today and you use an etherH or etherM interface.

The new driver is proving a lot more reliable and a bit faster than the
old drivers.

Cheers,
				Mark
