It's (usually) much quicker searching the kernel documentation
(if installed) or failing that, a search engine. Although, worryingly,
I couldn't find any references in the kernel. Perhaps its a clone of
a more well-known chip set.
The search engine www.google.com lists 4 links - 1 broken link, 1
english
text regarding linux ethernet drivers, 1 in Japanese and one FTP
directory
containing (presumably) the DOS driver. The linux link contains a
broken
link to a file 86c916.c - perhaps you could mail the author.
My advice would be to plug it in and see what happens. If it's a PCI
card, the BIOS should report its vendor and device numbers. If it's
ISA PnP, then I think pnpdump should give you similar info.
It would also be appreciated if your subject line was a bit more
verbose than "?" - it's a high volume list ;)
Good luck.
