Sorry, but the 3C503 (3Com Etherlink Plus) is *not* identical to the WD8003
(Western Digital Ethercard Plus).  They have the same LAN controller chip
on them, so there are some common factors in their drivers, but you can't
expect to even do one driver that works for both...

BTW, I finally figured out what was wrong with our 3C503 driver, and we're
shipping it as of today...
