Dave,

I use a NIC with the Accton 1207F, got the Linux (2.4) sources for it, and 
merged the diff(erences) into the tulip driver.  Works like a charm (had to 
recompile the kernel, though).

Accton sources:

and

Here's the Linux 2.4 driver for the EN2242 (says it's for the Cheetah Mini PCI 
Adapter):
