o don't strip the Ethernet header from inbound packets; pass packets
up the stack intact (required significant changes to some drivers)
o reference common definitions in net/ethernet.h (e.g. ETHER_ALIGN)
o track ether_ifattach/ether_ifdetach API changes
o track bpf changes (use BPF_TAP and BPF_MTAP)
o track vlan changes (ifnet capabilities, revised processing scheme, etc.)
o use if_input to pass packets "up"
o call ether_ioctl for default handling of ioctls

This driver was written by Myson and is made available
by their courtesy.
The 5.x version is not fully tested (I will be testing) but
the 4.x version has been tested by many.
I will commit it soon.
Myson have their own chip design based on the DEC 214xx family but
with several differences. Myson sells this chip to several
EOMs in teh Chinese area so there may be many noname brand cards
that respond to this driver. Myson will be supplying a list
of some of these.
