that were accidentally not committed earlier. The DECNet driver
is being added as its own directory to avoid forcing the driver to
have to pull in the complete set of network drivers.
Both the ne2000 and the wd80x3 are based on the National Semiconductor
8390 chip, so there is a fair amount of overlap between the two
drivers. It would be possible in principle to combine some code into
a separate set of subroutines called by both. In fact, the drivers in
both OpenBSD and Linux work this way. I didn't bother, because for
the relatively simple drivers used by RTEMS, the overlap is not
especially large, and any reasonable use of subroutines would lead to
slightly less efficient code.
This ne2000 driver uses two transmit buffers. While one packet is
being transmitted over the Ethernet, RTEMS will upload another. Since
uploading a packet to the ne2000 is rather slow, I don't think there
is any point to having more than two transmit buffers. However, the
code does make it possible, by changing NE_TX_BUFS, although that
would of course reduce the number of receive buffers.
I suspect that the wd80x3 driver would benefit slightly from copying
the multiple transmit buffer code. However, I have no way to test
that.

This patch removes generation of targopts.h from leaf.cfg and generates
it in location at score/include/rtems/score instead.
To achieve this:
* all rules in other Makefile.ins which have accessed targopts.h have
been removed.
* c/Makefile.in has been modified to generate the directories before
doing anything else. I.e. to ensure the directories exist before any
preinstall rule fires (This part is a bit kludgy, but it seems to
work. Please check if the interaction with libhwapi still works).
You will find enclosed a patch which contains, for Intel PC386 target :
- an Ethernet driver for DEC21140 device based boards.
- a simple cache management with paging mechanism.
