Adam Glass reported to me that the problem with 3c509 cards falling
off the network was fixed in -current.  (The autodetection problem
still hasn't been fixed.)  I grabbed the if_ep.c file from -current,
figured out which changes were appropriate for a 1.0 kernel, and
rebuilt all four of the Athena kernels with the patched if_ep.c and
if_epreg.h files.  I put a patch for the changes to those files in
/afs/sipb/project/netbsd/dev/athena-install/kernels/patch-3c509.

I'm hoping to track down the autodetection bugs so that we can narrow
the number of different Athena kernels down from four to two.  I doubt
we will narrow it down to one kernel until the next NetBSD release,
since I don't want to delve too far into -current code for the Athena
kernel.
