Having never looked at Newton ethernet driver code, I may be positing
something completely naive, but wouldn't it be saner to have someone
'maintain' the NE2000 driver to include a list of cards it recognizes,
instead of making a bunch of largely-duplicative packages? Release
occasionally with a new version number, and a README that tells all
supported cards?
