Yes, there is.
You will need the driver set from Scyld.

It's not at all the same chip as the old SOHO board, or the other 3Com
boards.  It is supported by the 'tulip' driver.

You will first need to install the new driver set with

mkdir /tmp/netdrivers/
cd /tmp/netdrivers/
ncftp ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdrivers.tgz
tar xfvz netdrivers.tgz
make
make install
