Well personally I have run a plugin tulip and via rhine on an arm in the
past, although I certainly never used ethtool for anything since I just
wanted it to move data with autonegotiation which it did. I might even
have tried the intel e100. After all when you have PCI slots you try
stuff (as long as it was 3.3V compatible which some older cards are
not, which meant they didn't even fit in the slot).
