What exactly does not work?  I just used 5.1 to load a ltsp kernel.  The
kernel got as far as trying to load the 3c515 driver.  I don't remember
retagging the kernel (if its even possible) so I am unsure what does not
work.

I will be giving it another whirl now that floppy loader works for me.
I would be happy to send a sundance card to anyone who can help find the
issue.

Hm, I don't currently have a pcnet32 based card or even know which cards
are based on that chipset.  I am willing to pick up a new sundance based
card to trade with someone for a pcnet32 based card.  I would like to
finish the sundance driver first, but if I can attract someone to help
find the issue I would be happy to move on to another driver.
