Its basically a NIC card with a built-in switch, back when switches actually cost $$$. Obviously its been commoditized in the marketplace to the point where its basically worthless now. =) There were not that many produced or sold, and got "killed" pretty quick here at Digi. I know Digi as a company would not care if the driver "went away" from the kernel sources as the product hasn't been sold in many many years... However, there *might* actually still be users for said driver... Its just hard to say.
