In this case, `kilobug' asked me if I could produce an oskit-mach
snapshot that included the Linux rtl8139 Ethernet driver.  My 2.2
source code snapshot is 2.2.20, which definetly contains that (I don't
know off hand if it existed in 2.2.12 - I can verify when I get home).

In this case, we would have a user willing to test this Ethernet
driver (presumably with and apt-get update; apt-get upgrade at the
least).  

Would that be enough to send a patch to include this driver?

Tks,
Jeff Bailey
