Already taken care of, David now has a DFE-500TX rev C1, Kingston KNE100TX
and a Compex ENET100TX-PCI.  Of these a quick look at things shows that
the DFE and KNE cards are using the same chips and shouldn't be too bad
to fix, the Compex is a tossed in thing I had laying around, and I don't
really care if it gets fixed or not.

Lets give David a few days to see what he comes up with...
