Since it is a NE2000 clone, Linux already has a generic driver for such cards
(they're extremely popular with clone manufacturers, and there's literally
hundreds of chips out there which do NE2000 stuff).
All that needs doing is some code put around this driver to tell it where
the chip is, and how to put/get packets on to/off of the card.
If someone wants to take this on, take a look at the EtherH driver - that's
a NE2000 clone board.
