OK.  If the Lite-on is a cheap knock off, i.e. one that runs the same
software, it should be a simple matter to change the kernel to
recognize it and use the Tulip driver, no?

Is this reasonable, and if so, has anyone done this?

I have several lite-on based boards that I could use instead
of groping around for a real (and expensive) Tulip.
