(Sorry for the late reply, just catching up on mailing lists)

My Gateway E6300 (Intel-based motherboard) includes the following:

vendor 0x11ab product 0x4361 (ethernet network, revision 0x17) at pci2 dev 0 function 0 not configured

Windows identifies it as an 88E8050, but I know Windows driver
identifications can't always be trusted to be accurate regarding which
variant of a chipset is used:

# Marvell Yukon 88E8050 PCI-E ASF Gigabit Ethernet Controller
# Driver version 8.27.4.3 (5/6/2005)
# yk51x86.sys version 8.27.3.3
# Memory 90100000-90103FFF
# I/O    2000-20FF
# IRQ    17

I'd be happy to test patches.
