This report is void of any relevant information and is therefore  
useless for a variety of reasons:

- What is the make of the ethernet card?
- Could we get the appropriate pciconf -vl output?
- What does the dmesg output look like for the card?
- What model laptop is this being used in?
- What CPU? AMD64 or I386?

Why should we port a driver for a NIC that appears to be almost  
working? It is way more efficient to make the relevant changes to get  
the card working in the present driver. This of course, requires that  
we know what devices you are trying to make interoperate...

Cheers,
Andy
