What is the PCI ID of the adapter?  Run 'lspci -n' to find it.

The "VE" should have a PCI ID of Vendor:0x8086 Device:0x1031  (which might 
appear as "10318086").  If so, the driver should support it.

Grrr, old advice from the days of ISA.  And even then it was frequently 
wrong for correctly written drivers.
