What it is with 3Com Etherlink III PC cards?  I've seen ~6 different cards
all labeled "Etherlink III" but they've all needed slight driver changes.
Sometimes the ones with identical chip labels work differently.  Are 3Com
engineers just making random changes because they're bored?

So, my latest problem card is a 3C589D-TP.  The MAC address on the card is
00:10:4b:a0:36:ca.  NetBSD probes it as ff:fc:4b:a0:36:ca; the first two
octets are wrong, the others are correct. This occurs under both 1.3.2 and
1.3F (I don't have a more recent -current handy).  Is this a known problem?
Is it fixed in -current?

Also, can anyone suggest another line of PC ethernet cards that work well
with NetBSD?  I'd rather not recommend the 3Com ones anymore since they've
been so much trouble lately.

Thanks!
