Beau Kuiper isn't doing the Networking stuff anymore.
I'd love to help, but right now I just don't have the time (I need to
work my ass off or I'll get kicked out of school). I had started
an ne2000 driver, but it apears that is is no longer required.
I don't know how to link the userspace stack to the kernel, but
I could help with the stack itself.
