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?
