It doesn't use the Digital Tulip chip like the older DFE500-TX cards
did. Instead it uses what appears to be a D-Link proprietary chip.

I sent email to D-Link asking about a Linux driver and they
haven't bothered to respond so we're switching to a different
brand that is tulip-based.

p.s. I'll bet Donald Becker is happy about this since he had
a disagreement with D-Link about some of his code that they
mis-appropriated for their own Linux DFE500-TX driver.
