Taking a look at the Windows drivers, I can confirm it is indeed NE2000-compatible, but I was not able to find a reference to the 8390. It works on AmigaOS with cnet.device and on NetBSD/amiga out of the box.

Thanks for letting me know. Am I correct to assume that the patch is to improve "possible" Linux support for cards that under AmigaOS would need the cnet16.device on AmigaOS?
