I need to set up a stable machine for production use, but it happens to have
a 3COM 590 PCI card in it.  As the SNAPSHOTS seem to be falling over themselves
at the moment, I was wondering if I could just take if_vx.c (the 590 driver)
and drop it into a 2.1R kernel, or are there additional changes that preclude
doing this?
