I have another issue with devfs: I am using it 'properly', but when I
shutdown the shutdown script cannot unmount /dev, and the machine hangs.
Anyone know what the solution is?

Might this be the cause of the 3c509 problems I reported a while ago (and
which Donald says a number of other people have reported to him)? If the
ethernet card wasn't being initialised properly, perhaps you would get the
effect I am seeing (no link light, TXs always collide)?

What needs to happen to the driver to adapt to these changes?
