I was looking into this stuff two days ago.

The KEGS patches for LANceGS-like functionality are released, but due to
Mr. Weiss retaining the copyright to the patch, it cannot be integrated
into KEGS (which operates under a different copyright/license).

So it has to be manually integrated into KEGS, though the patch tarball
does provide the necessary files and instructions. Does look nice.

One place I know where it can be found is on Syndicomm's member FTP site.
[This requires a small fee to get membership for access -- USD $35/year.]

I don't know where else it can be found.

I understand the Uther card still has its Marinetti driver under
development. I don't know who's working on that one.

Haven't heard of anyone doing a KEGS patch for the Uthernet card's chipset.

I do agree with the value of KEGS having ethernet support -- does make
it so much easier to transfer some stuff in *and* out of KEGS!
