57f57fda64 Gut the release notes now that we have a clean slate again.
The supported hardware still looks to be lagging in the alpha file.
People, please try and keep these in better sync this time!

4c10dd65ca The correct part number for the CATC ASIC is USB-EL1210A, not
USB-EL1201A or even USB-EL1202A. Wonder what drugs I was on when
I made this mistake, and then propagated it to 6 different files.

261b9b3066 Add driver support for the Aironet 4500/4800 series wireless 802.11
NICs. (Finally!) The PCMCIA, ISA and PCI varieties are all supported,
though only the ISA and PCI ones will work on the alpha for now.
PCCARD, ISA and PCI attachments are all provided. Also provided an
ancontrol(8) utility for configuring the NIC, man pages, and updated
pccard.conf.sample. ISA cards are supported in both ISA PnP and hard-wired
mode, although you must configure the kernel explicitly to support the
hardwired mode since you have to know the I/O address and port ahead
of time.

Special thanks to Doug Ambrisko for doing the initial newbus hackery
and getting it to work in infrastructure mode.

0177987224 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.
