I noted that the CS8920 PNP IDs were detected and left it at that. I
won't be doing any more work on the CS8920, it was just a lark. These
machines already have an EEPRO100 NIC in them in addition to the onboard
10 Mb NIC, probably put in when the network was upgraded to 100 Mb.
There's no incentive to avoid using the 100 Mb NICs. Especially when one
can get new 100 Mb NICs so cheap now.

Now USB and PCMCIA, those are more interesting targets than the 3c509,
nudge nudge.
