3c996B-T, with the 5701 rev B5 ASIC). One thing that confuses me
still is that the 'link state change' bit in the status block seems
to change state an awful lot. I have a workaround for this in place

ethernet controllers. This adds support for the 3Com 3c996-T, the
SysKonnect SK-9D21 and SK-9D41, and the built-in gigE NICs on
Dell PowerEdge 2550 servers. The latter configuration hauls ass:
preliminary measurements show TCP speeds of over 900Mbps using
only normal size frames.
TCP/IP checksum offload, jumbo frames and VLAN tag insertion/stripping
are supported, as well as interrupt moderation.
Still need to fix autonegotiation support for 1000baseSX NICs, but
beyond that, driver is pretty solid.
