I have what appear to be functional patches to provide support for if_dc,
used in the common and cheap PCI Linksys ethernet cards (LNE100TX?). If
jkh approves the commit, I can stick it in before the release. I don't
have access to an if_de card where I am currently, so won't be able to
look at that for at least a week or two.
The patch for if_dc is below.
