There are now several versions of the Intel EtherExpress 10/100 in circulation.
Some use the original ('557) chip; others use a later rev ('559); still others
have different part numbers. Is any one of the chips better than the others?
Or is the main difference die size and packaging? (Looking at if_fxp.c, I
don't see any code which at first glance appears to treat different chip
versions differently, but maybe I missed something.)
