This is one of the weak areas of CDL. Embedded systems don't usually
have pluggable hardware. It is soldered to the board. So the
configuration system is pritty static when it comes to hardware
support. The current way to hand different hardware is to make
different targets. You will find: pc_i82559, pc_i82544,
pc_vmWare. These are all basically the same, just with different
ethernet devices. You want to add a target pc_rhine to
packages/ecos.db.
