Donald, is there a network card you haven't yet written a driver for?
The work you put into this stuff truly amazes me. You just keep
churning out one high quality driver after the other.

The starfire driver works great so far, using ttcp I got 11450KB/sec
between the ANA-62044 and an EEpro-100, I could just smell the wires
burning!

Thanks!

PS: Is there a more appropriate forum for starfire users? The page
mentioned in starfire.c
(http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/starfire.html) doesn't seem
to exist.
