decided to put one of these 'Mystery' cards into the 'LTSP server' and see
what Progeny made of it. dmesg reports the following:
isapnp: Card 'DE305 Digital EtherWORKS ISA Adapter'
(misc stuff)
eth0: NE2000 found at 0x220, using IRQ 5,
So it looks like these are actually NE2000 cards. Now that I've got one
working in the LTSP server, I can put the working 3COM one into one of the
workstations and see if it works now.
