This release includes two NetworkingDevices: LancePCIDevice and
Realtek8139PCIDevice, the former implementing support, at least, for
VMWare virtual cards, and the latter for a very common real network card.
We have partially integrated NetSqueak
(http://www.squeaksource.com/Net.html), which gives SqueakNOS support
for most of the TCP/IP protocol suite, including basic, but working, TCP.
The native part has changed a little bit too, specially a bug fix to
allow bigger images to be booted (27MB was the old limit, now phisical
memory should be it). Also the timer interrupt frequency is increased to
2KHz and ioRelinquishProcessor... effectively halts ('hlt') the
processor. This decreases the power consumption, and introduced a few
interactivity glitches that we should solve.
