I know the lasi_82596 driver doesn't support ethtool yet.

Someone who was interested and had time & the right machine could do some
serious work on lasi_82596:

 - Get rid of "static struct net_device *netdevs[MAX_DRIVERS];"
 - Make it work on peecees and 680x0 too and then get rid of the original
   82596 driver.
 - Add ethtool support.
