        The Home-PNA cards look like ethernet cards to the kernel.
        Does the specification tell something about the PROTOCOLS
        to be run, that I have not checked.

        For example, the Tulip driver (www.scyld.com) understands
        PHY interface called Home-PNA.

        Comparing to the Ethernet (10/100/1000/more Mbit/sec),
        the Home-PNA runs at 1 Mbit/sec. (And thus can use
        in-house CAT-3 telephony cabling.)
