 This essentially-without-brand 0x9700 chip is an exceptionally inferior
 knockoff of the DM9601.  No amount of driver support can improve how
 poorly the chip works as an Ethernet adapter.  I have one of these
 devices, I worked on adding support in udav(4), after getting it
 working enough to use I discovered the hardware just isn't worth
 supporting.  My immediate advice would be to find something supported
 by axe(4).
