Sorry, on further checking, I'm told that it is a Tulip-based part on a
PCI card.  To my knowledge, the MkLinux driver supports it (haven't heard
any complaints), and it was ripped straight out of NetBSD, so that
-really- should work....  I'll leave it to the kernel gurus to scratch
their heads about why it doesn't.  ;-)
