My mostly-generic 82586-based-Ethernet driver should work for this card with the addition/modification of about three routines. (I considered doing this myself, but I don't have one, so I decided against it.) If you have enough technical information about this board, or the source to a Packet Driver for it, then you should be able to make it work. On a general note, I expect to be able to make a new release of my driver in a week or so. I'll post with more details later. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
