 Simun: Did you try your patch and did you get if_aue to work with
 that NIC?
 
 I've seen a similar patch for NetBSD, but yesterday I tried a
 similar NIC (vid 0x0a46, pid 0x8515) and after patching if_aue for
 this vid/pid, the driver fails to initialize with MII read timeout
 problems.
 
 If it's really an ADMtek 8515 chipset, it will be detected but it
 might not work or adapters using the same chip differ in behavior.
 
 As I've googled for some hours I figured out the same problems have
 been experienced by some Linux users and a patch for initialising
 the card and getting the MAC address was needed.
 
 The datasheet for this chip (and other ADMtek chips) is available at
 http://www.infineon.com. The original website of admtek is obsolete
 (even finding the datasheet has been difficult).
