Thanks. I'll look into that.
BTW: The "lance" chip appears to be 1990 vintage, might even be ISA

The AMD LANCE was the first popular "Ethernet on a chip". It was used
very heavily for about three years after its introduction. While it had
some flaws, especially in its early days, it was reliable and very
programmable. The latter quality made it very popular with network
researchers. It was available on cards from many manufacturers in both
PCI and ISA formats.
