I had planned to start cleaning up the 3c515 driver after the sundance
driver is finished.  On of my first steps would have been to pull the
ISAPNP outside the driver.  Since I was only working on getting the
3c515 to work, I may left out some of the additional configuration that
is required under ISAPNP (The card is never assigned an interrupt etc.).
It might have some merit to implement the entire ISAPNP.

Have you started anything yet?
