  From http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/100vg.html this is the
ATT2MD01 "Regatta" chip (now owned by Lucent).  There is another Linux
driver at ftp://ftp.pf.jcu.cz:/pub/perex/hp100/hp100-1.57.tar.gz.

  There is some other info at
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/100mbs.html#obsolete

  I don't know that it is worth writing a driver when you can get decent
modern ethernet cards for $15.
