[linux-tr] madge driver

[Paul Norton <pnorton@ccnusa.com>]

Maybe the best thing to do is diff the 2.0.36 ibmtr driver with 2.2.6
ibmtr driver.  You'll have to change some probe code, as well as the
receive code a little.  I don't think the transmit code will have to
be touched.  Since the BM II is a PCI adapter you might have to peruse 
any PCI-related changes as well, but then that's probe/initialization
code. Overall I don't think it'll be too tough - a good, solid evening
or two of hacking.  :-) 

If you have any particular questions feel free to email me at
pnorton@ieee.org, as I'm the guy who made all those changes (excepting 
PCI changes).
