The release date of this chip was already in June 2004, and still no support in mainline linux. There is apparently an opensource driver from Agere which is maintained by volunteers at http://sourceforge.net/projects/et131x/ It seems some distros (e.g. Ubuntu) even patch their kernels with this driver. Please consider adding support for this chip in mainline linux. Thanks a lot!
