No, not at the moment.  For now, keep going with the new-drivers
kernel.  To work around the "setting tty flags" problem, boot
single-user (type "-s" at the NetBSD boot prompt), and do

	fsck -p
	mount -a
	ed /etc/rc
	/ttyflags			(It should say "ttyflags -a")
	s/^/#/p				(It should say "#ttyflags -a")
	w
	q				(It should drop back to the shell)
	reboot

NetBSD 1.2 should be out in the not-too-distant future and will
support the 3C590 without any additional hacking, so I'm probably not
going to fix this problem with the new-drivers kernel until then.
