We have drivers for the Netgear GA620/GA620T (Alteon chip,
untried on the 3Com) and for the Intel RS-82543GC chip
as found on the Intel PRO/1000[FT] Server Adapter (the older
non-[FT] cards use the 82542 (LSI L2A1157) chip).
A driver for the Syskonnect cards would be nice, that would
cover all the major players, although the way Intel are agressively
pricing their cards there may be only one player in the future.
The drivers are currently in the MD directories.
