I think its unlikely that something like the Linux 3com driver is
going to change its licensing terms at this point.  Even so, if I had
the code actually working, something like that might be a way out.  I
hadn't gotten over the debugging hump, as I was only nearing the
completion of moving the Linux code into RTEMS and fixing the textual
differences.  The adaptation of the runtime & interrupt models to
RTEMS was still to come.

The bsd code is closer to RTEMS anyhow, I suspect porting that will
take less time in any case.
