If `/dev/enet' is implemented as hooks in the device drivers, it
should continue to work in 4.3.  However, the 4.2 `netpup' code
(which did not really work) moved to the `deprecated/netpup'
directory.

The structure of network addresses (mainly `struct ifnet') is
radically different in 4.3; this is necessary for real kernel
support of other protocols besides TCP/IP.  Consider, e.g.,
the `net' and `host' fields in the 4.2 net/if.h.

I know practically nothing about what PUP support is required
for Interlisp; but we have no PUP support here, yet still use
Dandelions and Dandytigers running Interlisp.
