	The support for the ULTRA has JUST been fixed in FreeBSD, meaning that
	NetBSD-0.9 [not current] could not have had a correctly working Ultra
	driver in it.  Besides, I believe that the Ultra was not yet supported 
	when 0.9 was cut...

	Not a bug, but lack of Ultra support, I believe... Since I'm assuming 
	that -current will pick up [or has picked up] the latest of David's
	chnages to if_ed, that would be the place to check...

					Well, that's at least $0.01...
