New revs of the NetGear FA310-TX's use the Lite-On PNIC chip, which is
a Tulip clone, but not good enough of a clone to work without mods to
the DE driver.  Jason Thorpe had, at some point, mentioned he was 
working on a driver for the PNIC/MXIC/... (not-100% tulip-clone) 
chips, but there's nothing available yet, AFAICT.
