There are a whole lot of cards which resemble each other; all were based on
the National Semiconductor demonstrator board for the 8390 chip (the DP839EB).
The NE1000 is one of them, and our DP839EB driver works just fine on it.
Clarkson has an NE1000 Packet Driver in the latest release, but I don't know
if it has any code that ties it to the NE1000 specifically; our driver doesn't
use the features Novell added to the basic design, so it is more widely
compatible.
