With the original 8 bit ISA ne1000 card being over 20 years old, it only makes sense to consider ne.c and all the other toplevel 8390 based driver files as legacy for obsolete hardware. The most recent thing made in large quantities that was 8390 based were those crazy PCI ne2k clones - and even they are now 10+ years old. Also remove myself as maintainer, since the only changes to these drivers going forward will be the generic API type changes that touch all drivers.
