here goes:

02:08.0 Ethernet controller:
         Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM/CA/CAM Ethernet Controller (rev 03)

02:08.0 Class 0200: 8086:2449 (rev 03)

FWIW, the adapter is being used in 10 Mbps Half duplex mode

Now I am curious: since for once we have a constructor-provided
OSS driver, why not reverse the logic and adopt e100 by default?
Is eepro likely to be as well maintained and tested as an intel-backed
driver, or merely favored by sheer habit?
