There is no solved perse, its just a card that is not supported at
this time.  You can find the supported PC hardware here:

http://www.plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Supported_PC_hardware/index.html

additionally I have an IBM t43 and expect to write a driver over the
next year (after USB ether gets fixed) its for a Broadcom BCM5751M.
Perhaps it might have some similarities if you decide to write a
driver for your own card.  You might want to try using the new
usb/ether interface for now -- thanks to Nemo.
