We ship unmodified 2.2.x kernel tulip driver (and old_tulip as well). 
As far as the PNIC goes, bug reports for the PNIC and 2.2.x kernel
continue to pop up so there are still some unresolved issues.

NetGear's own driver, Donald's v92 tulip works the best with PNIC. 
However... even v92 and v92h work poorly with my two test NetGear
FA310TX boards.  Symptoms include 66.6% packet loss during a ping, and
oops under any sort of load on both 10bT and 100bT networks.
