The wx driver only supports through the 82543 chipset. It is trivial to add 82544 support. I suppose it was not done because it has been deprecated. I'm not sure of the state of the gx driver. It possibly only supports through the 82543 also. The last I heard, someone was having trouble with promiscious mode in the em driver. I don't know if that has been resolved.

I can get it to probe under the em driver, but not gx or wx (which I understand is deprecated, but I figured it was worth a shot). I have tried both GENERIC with gx added, as well as a slimmed-down kernel with only miibus and gx. pci1: <unknown card> (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x1008) at 2.0 irq 7 pci1: <unknown card> (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x1008) at 4.0 irq 5 Is gx supposed to work with these interfaces? (As an aside, if anyone wants to comment on the relative merits of em vs. gx, that would be great).
