This is my first cut on a driver for the RealTek RTL 8002 pocket

ethernet driver.

The BUGS section is still impressive, but the driver seems to work for
me now.  Disclaimer: i haven't been able to test this under -current
so far (but it compiles, and the notebook it's intended for can now be
updated to -current more easy than before).  Don't be afraid of the
many #ifdefs on __FreeBSD_version in the imported file; i want them in
the repository on the vendor-branch so other people can also manually
integrate it into older systems.  I'll clean it up on the -current
branch in a followup commit.  The vendor-banch version right now
supports systems back to 2.2R.

This driver should be layered upon ppc(4), but i currently have no
idea how to do this.

Eventually i'll further develop the driver to also support the more
modern RTL 8012 success, which seems to be present in a number of
cheap pocket ethernet adapters these days.  Right now, i doubt it will
run with the 8012 without any changes.

Finally a big Thanks! to RealTek for promptly providing me with
documentation and with the source code for the 8012 pocket driver upon
request.  I wish all vendors were that cooperative!.
