Ok, resending as a series of patches, hopefully this is the proper format now.
Repeating myself a bit from the original mail:
I have been playing around a bit with the OS X/darwin network drivers for these
cards and noticed that they seem to differ quite a bit from the Linux ones.
If you're interested, the source of the core part is here:
http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/AppleIntel8255x/AppleIntel8255x-19/i82557Private.cpp
Attached is a series of patches that makes things work with at least
some version of that (sorry, I only tried some binary I found on the
net, didn't compile from source).
In addition, I also used the documentation from here:
http://www.intel.com/design/network/manuals/8255X_OpenSDM.htm

Hope this is interesting to someone and maybe we can even get these
merged...

Thanks,
Reimar Döffinger
