The driver is called mrv8k, but it's not in the Linux tree, not even in
staging. I don't know why. Perhaps it's not functional.
Several pages recommend disabling mrv8k and using ndiswrapper with
Windows drivers. Until ndiswrapper 1.57 is released, you'll need the
current snapshot from subversion, as ndiswrapper 1.56 doesn't compile
for Linux 2.6.35 and newer.
