This driver supports the following cards: SMC EZ Card 1000 (SMC9462TX) D-Link DGE-500T Asante FriendlyNet GigaNIX 1000TA and 1000TPC Addtron AEG320T LinkSys EG1032 (32-bit PCI) and EG1064 (64-bit PCI) Surecom Technology EP-320G-TX Netgear GA622T These cards are all extremely cheap (some can be had for under $100) and fairly easy to find. (I now have one in my workstation.) They could potentially become extremely popular, which is why I'm making a driver retrofit kit available. Anyone running a recent 4-STABLE or 5.0-CURRENT system should already have the necessary driver support. Note that you must have the kernel sources installed to recompile the driver.
