6/28    Say someone gave me a mystery ethernet card with no info on it, no
        docs, and no drivers but I want to make use of it.  The only thing
        I can find out about it is this /proc/pci entry:
        Ethernet controller: Macronix MX98715 / MX98725 (rev 32).
        and a MAC address 0080C6F7EF3F
        Is there a way to find out compatible popular drivers for this card?

        \_ http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/index.html will give you
           the vendor of the card.  If it's generic, the NE2000 driver will
           probably work.  -tom
