	Do you know which chip is used on this card?

The Linksys web server has pictures of the 9 versions of this card,
there are at least 4 different controllers used - different versions
of the Digital 2114x and different verions of the PNIC. Stephen Wynne
tells me (thanks!) the latest version (v4.0) uses the ADMTek 983.

These are all Digital 2114x or Digital 2114x 'near-clones and the
Plan 9 2114x driver will work with soe of these. However, it's likely
the ADMTek would need a little work (as did the PNIC chips).
