Don't complain so much. Many networks take up much more. I have a friend
on IBM Token Ring, it appears to use > 150K. I think NetWare uses about 50K
as PCI does.
Oh, by the way, I believe bridge.ip is the part that traps the BIOS calls
and sends them to the host via the ethernet driver. You should have a separate
driver for your Ethernet controller. At least my PCI (2.8.7) does.
Can anybody post how much PCNFS uses?
