SigmaDesigns NetStream2000, although the chip I have is an 8470 -
slightly different model though I believe it should work if I can get
the kernelmode driver built.

It's the GPL'd package from SigmaDesigns web site.  You can do a search
for NetStream 2000 to find it - there is a freshmeat (or SourceForge, I
forget which) entry that points to it.

According to the source, it appears to have been built with the 2.2.x
kernel series.  Supposedly 2.4.0-test9 was supported.  It appears to
have been tested on RH 7.x but I'm on RH9 and kernel 2.4.20.

I'd rather stick with RH9 since it has the drivers for other hw already
included, while RH7.x will require I manually add those drivers.

I haven't talked to SigmaDesigns about this yet, but I plan on dropping
them a note soon (busy running about for my daughters tennis tourney
this weekend).
