I have an MV3100 m80, and the ethernet works fine with a transceiver on
the AUI port. The chipset is the common LANCE one, so I guess it's been
supported for quite a while. Does your MV3100 pass all the hardware
diagnostics when you turn it on? Does dmesg print anything about the
ethernet (le0 if memory serves) during boot up?
