Subject: AMD PCnet-FAST?

I recently picked up an AMD 10/100 Ethernet NIC. It
uses the PCnet-FAST 79c971 chip on it. 

The if_le_pci.c driver detects the card as a
PCnet-PCI card, and configures it fine.  The card
then works for about 3 minutes before the interface
hangs completely.

if_le_pci.c doesn't contain any mention of 100baseT
operation (although I'm just using it at 10), so
my guess is that the driver doesn't quite support
this chip.  Am I right?  Is anyone willing to work
on the driver?  I could loan out the card or do 
testing.
