OK. The Linux kernel comes with a driver called sk98lin that should
support these cards. Please try this one too.

Functionality exists, but speed is lacking when the autonegotiation
fails - whenever packets have to go into opposite directions (one
being transmitted while another one comes in) there would be corrupted
packets and TCP would need to retransmit them. That's why I asked
about slow booting of LAM.
