Hi Rick,

Re ASIX that one isn't supported. I don't know the internals of it,
but I suppose you could take it apart and look at the chip, if there
are no specs provided with it. I am keen to expand the range a little
so if you have one to send I could take a look at it.

I have an SMSC driver which I will send to the list soon, it supports only:

	{ 0x0424, 0xec00 },	/* LAN9512/LAN9514 Ethernet */
	{ 0x0424, 0x9500 },	/* LAN9500 Ethernet */

so again I suspect work will be needed.

Regards,
Simon
