Is it possible to introduce support for ne2000 clone cards bu copying
the ether2000 and related files from /sys/src/9/pc to /sys/src/fs/plan9pc?

Not quite. If you do a diff on, say, the 2114x driver in both
fs and 9 sources you'll see there are a few differences. They are mostly
to do with
Block vs. Msgbuf
Easize vs. Eaddrlen
no malloc in the fs kernel
9 has driver functions which are not in the fs kernel
(e.g. promiscuous, ifstats)
the set of included files is different
The reasons are all historical. Converting a 9 driver to fs is a
couple of hours of mindless editing.
