I have just finished removing the old (1.1) drivers for the Intel EtherPortII
card (as well as removing the card) and installing the "new" National Ether-
PortII card and the 2.0 drivers from Dayna.

At 1st glance, everything looks fine and works normally... supposedly the
new card boosts "higher" performance than the old one, but I haven't noticed
any performance change... I am using the card only for TCP/IP traffic, so
I don't know how it's support for EtherTalk is.

I'll keep all informed.
