Anthony, you asked me to send my maintainer version from git://repo.or.cz/qemu/ar7.git
in small patches. Of course, the final goal is to have devices which work.

To have a list of devices which should be supported helps other people who want
to contribute to eepro100.c. They won't write code just for i82557c if the same
code should be applied to i82557[ab] as well, for example.

Regards
Stefan
