Impressive Compaq supprort.

Greets,

Kudos to whoever took it upon themsel(ves) to incorporate all the
proprietary Compaq stuff that's in 2.5 (maybe earlier?).  I just managed
to make a very happy OpenBSD router out of what used to be a paperweight.
An ex-Novell paperweight :)

This little box is a Prosignia 300, ca. 1997.  A little more RAM and a bit
more effort to get the 3c509 stuck in it working and I'll be all set :)

Apparently the onboard NIC never worked right... but works great now that
OpenBSD is on it.  For a laugh, check out this dmesg:
