We have a driver for this device in sys/dev/scsipi/if_se.c.  It was pretty popular with the pc532 crowd back in the day because SCSI was the only expansion bus the pc532 had.

There are changes coming to the network stack and it's unlikely that (a) anyone has such a device to test it, and (b) that the driver even works currently because it's been so long since probably anyone ran this code.

I propose we remove this driver.

Any objections?
