In the mean time, you can get my cleaned up version from
<http://www.badula.org/3c990/>. The 2.5 patch might not apply anymore
to the latest and greatest; let me know if that's indeed the case so
I can generate a new one.

Correct as far as the 3Com driver is concerned: it doesn't implement any
crypto stuff, I have no docs for it, and no free driver (OpenBSD in
particular) implements any of that stuff either.
