Currently, cards using the Alteon Tigon chip such as the Netgear GA620
(fiber), GA620T (CAT5) are supported and I have given the driver out to
others:

		case (0x620A<<16)|0x1385:	/* Netgear GA620 */
		case (0x630A<<16)|0x1385:	/* Netgear GA620T */
		case (0x0001<<16)|0x12AE:	/* Alteon Acenic fiber
						 * and DEC DEGPA-SA */
		case (0x0002<<16)|0x12AE:	/* Alteon Acenic copper */
		case (0x0009<<16)|0x10A9:	/* SGI Acenic */

There is also a working driver for the Intel 82543GC as found in
the Intel PRO/1000[FT] Server Adapter, although the CAT5 code is
unfinished.

I've also started a driver for cards using the National Semiconductor
DP83820 chip, which is found on cards such as the Netgear GA622T. These
cards are much cheaper than the Intel/Alteon cards at ~$125 each.

However, I'm not sure when I will ever finish either of those drivers.
