That was one of the first Gigabit drivers in Linux (hamachi.c), but probably hasn't seen much use in the last years and it's unclear if the driver still works. If anyone is interested in maintaining the driver I would be willing to ship the card for free to them. The card is still a quite respectable Gigabit Ethernet card. The main drawback is that it has a fiber PHY, not copper, so one would need a suitable fiber switch or run it loopback with another fiber card. I believe documentation is also still available. Please only serious offers if you want to actually work with the code. Thanks, -Andi
