help: failed to use qemu

[Joel Sherrill]

I am happy to report that the if_fxp (Intel i8255x driver)
works with QEMU with any of the following NIC models
specified:

i82551
i82557b
i82559er

That is in addition to the ne2k_isa we historically used.
That leaves pcnet, ne2k_pci,  pcnet, and rtl8139 as the
remaining NICs simulated for i386 qemu that we
don't support.
