The NIC is (theoretically) TLAN-based, and there are specs for those
at

http://www-s.ti.com/cgi-bin/sc/device1.cgi?device=TNETE100A&return=NETWORKING+COMPONENTS&des=THUNDERLAN++PCI+FAST+ETHERNET+CONTROLLER&type=2

(Sorry for the wrapped line.)

You can get a copy of the programmer's ref there in PDF format.  I have
a copy, and a 6000 with one of these in it, but very little time to actually
write the driver (made worse by the fact that I've never written a NIC driver
before).

So if someone wants to grab this information, and write a driver with
it, great!  OR, if someone with knowledge of these drivers can point me
to documents containing tips, hints, etc., regarding writing such a driver,
that would be great, too, but probably won't result in a working driver
as quickly.
