Not having this NIC, I don't have any first-hand experience, but a quick 
Google search indicated that the Intel EtherExpress 100 (eepro100) 
driver may work with this card, although posts from about 15 months ago 
indicated it was buggy. Still, may be worth a try before doing the 
compile-it-yourself route.
