Hi there,

	I've got an ethernet card (Acer 5220) that uses the National NS8390
	ethernet controller chip. I would like to write a packet driver
	for this card. What I need to know is:

	1) can i modify another existing ethernet card's packet driver source 
	   (that uses the same ethernet controller chip) to make it work on 
	   mine ?
	2) what other ethernet cards uses the NS8390 ?

	I am using a friend's account to post this . So please reply to me 
	directly at menace@comm.toronto,edu

	Thanks in advance,
	Dennis
