It uses the National Semiconductor DP83800. Unfortunately, the only documentation I've found for it so far is a NS app-note, but no datasheet. I'm beginning to think that it might be hard to get enough information about this, because National is giving me the run-around about it being a custom part and Intel's support newsgroup says that there's no SDK, either.
