Some questions regarding device drivers

It should. The patch to the tulip driver is based on the tulip.c code
from standard linux distribution, so if your card uses that, it should
work with our patch.

The 2.2.16 patch to be distributed with v1.1 of click (to be released
in a couple of days) contains a patch to make the Tigon based Gb cards
pollable and therefore work with PollDevice. We will release more 
up-to-date patches in the future, as there are still issues not worked 
out yet in v1.1.
