Here's ALL the numbers:  NQ80C269633, no question about it...

There are four other chips that look similar, but have different numbers
on them:

FS9524AP/DP83223V/B
FS9542AF/DP83223V/B
FS9542APE4/DP83223V/B
FS9542ATC4/DP83223V/B

I don't know who made them, but their logo looks like a sideways N or Z
with the ends of the letter curled in.  Could these be national
semiconductor TWISTER transceiver chips?  Google thinks they might be!

Will do.

> Is the driver built-in or a module?

Module -- I know I saw the docs for configuring that in the /etc/modules
file or whatever, but you know, I just can't find it today.  Hint?
