Add device driver support for USB ethernet adapters based on the CATC
USB-EL1202A chipset. Between this and the other two drivers, we should have support for pretty much every USB ethernet adapter on the market. The only other USB chip that I know of is the SMC USB97C196, and right now I don't know of any adapters that use it (including the ones made by SMC :/ ). Note that the CATC chip supports a nifty feature: read and write combining. This allows multiple ethernet packets to be transfered in a single USB bulk in/out transaction. However I'm again having trouble with large bulk in transfers like I did with the ADMtek chip, which leads me to believe that our USB stack needs some work before we can really make use of this feature. When/if things improve, I intend to revisit the aue and cue drivers. For now, I've lost enough sanity points.
