Ok, I didn't realize the 3w-xxxx driver wasn't what he needed.  I'm not
really opposed to adding new drivers that don't muck with core kernel
code.  If Pasi's patch applies cleanly for i386, I might add it.  Here's
the problem, tho: RH doesn't support this driver/hardware, so Pasi will
need to continue maintaining this patch untill RH (hopefully) adds it to
their kernel.

Pasi, have you tested your patch on ia32?
