I think Allen Briggs had a kernel on puma that worked the best, but I'm 
not sure what it is called or where exactly it is.

If the card uses a SONIC chip, then it is definitely not supported yet.  
Supposedly, people are working on SONIC ethernet support, though.  If it 
is not based on a SONIC, but on an 8390 chip, then it shouldn't be too 
hard to get it to work.
