Good call.  I will probably pushing the PCI ID changes about the
same time I push in a tg3/Broadcom gigabit driver.  If you thought
the e1000 was bad.  Even the cleaned up Linux driver by David Miller
and Jeff Garzik is over 7000 lines long.  But at least I have finally
gotten as far as being able to read the MAC address.  With broadcom
driver I could not even trace the code well enough to do that...

Though once that is done I will probably be leaving etherboot alone for
a while....
