This info was forwarded on to me, and since I have this info, I'll pass it
on.  I don't have the card anymore, though, so I can't test it.

This is what my Kingston EtherRx 10/100 card spit out:

Feb 11 22:31:19 gdi /kernel: de0 <Digital 21140A Fast Ethernet> rev 32 int
a irq 10 on pci0:17
Feb 11 22:31:19 gdi /kernel: de0: 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.0
Feb 11 22:31:19 gdi /kernel: de0: address 00:c0:f0:16:3f:1d
Feb 11 22:31:19 gdi /kernel: de0: enabling 100baseTX port

The chip is labelled 21140-AC.  I swapped this card with a Dayna that
wasn't going anywhere in a Mac Performa 6360.  To say the least, both
parties are very happy to have functional PCI Ethernet cards.

As a datapoint, the 21041-AA chip in the Dayna E/PCI-M works fine with the
21041 driver, with some i/o errors; I'm still trying to find where these
are coming from. It's a .03% error rate so I'm not worried :)
