Yes, if you have installed kernel sources, go to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
and look at the file called LINT. If not, I can mail you the file itself,
but I believe, that you'll get a much better system by stripping off the
devices and services (like NFS) you do not have or do not use. (I reduced
the size of my kernel to 633110 byte -- check yours!).

I believe, it is 3com 3c509? I have 3c509-COMBO (has all three connectors
on it), and have a lot of problems with it so far, but it works, and is re-
cognized as ep-device (ep0).
