 ARCnet is a network type which works in a way similar to popular Ethernet
 networks but which is also different in some very important ways.

+First of all, you can get ARCnet cards in at least two speeds: 2.5 Mbps
+(slower than Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (faster than normal Ethernet).  In fact,
 there are others as well, but these are less common.  The different hardware
 types, as far as I'm aware, are not compatible and so you cannot wire a
-100Mbps card to a 2.5Mbps card, and so on.  From what I hear, my driver does

 You also cannot connect an ARCnet card to any kind of Ethernet card and
 expect it to work.

 One thing that makes ARCnet cards difficult to program for, however, is the

 of 576 bytes, let alone the Ethernet MTU of 1500.  To compensate, an extra
 level of encapsulation is defined by RFC1201, which I call "packet
 splitting," that allows "virtual packets" to grow as large as 64K each,
