I don't believe it is supported.  I do believe that this is an NE2000 on a
PCI in terms of what it looks like.  I've sold a few of these in PCs for
Windows and that was my understanding.  Probably not too hard to write a
driver for given we have NE2000 drivers already.  This is all my
understanding and not gospel.
