Further to my original bug report which unfortunately seemed to be an
incomplete and old verison, here's what I hope is the necessary information:

It's one of those rebadged-something-else jobs. It calls itself a NetLynx
RE450CT although I very much doubt that they're the manufacturer.

Now that I don't know. I'd naively assumed it was the standard NE2000 driver
from the dmesg output.

Er... Looking at the mail I sent, I'd say that something happened
incorrectly with sendbug :( I'd included the output from dmesg in the
version I sent and cancelled the version that seems to have been sent. Oh
well. Here's the dmesg output that should have been sent:

pcic0 at isa0 port 0x3e0/2 iomem 0xd0000/16384
pcic0 controller 0: <Intel 82365SL rev 2> has sockets A and B

OK. It's:

  kernel page trap fault, code=0
  Stopped at _strcmp+0xe: movb 0(%eax),%cl
