I'll admit, the busmastering is pretty cool on the 3com boards (when it
works).  We had better hope that nothing happens to the beowulf team...
3com certainly won't care if their cards no longer work with Linux
(sigh).

I'll throw in that the the dual onboard 3com's seem to be VERY fast now
that they are working.  Still not a 3com fan yet.... if they show
interest in Linux again, I may change my mind.
