+The VT6122 is a 33/66Mhz 64-bit PCI device which combines a tri-speed MAC with
+an integrated 10/100/1000 copper PHY. (Some older cards use an external
+PHY.)
The MAC supports TCP/IP hardware
checksums (IPv4 only), TCP large send, VLAN tag insertion and stripping,
as well as VLAN filtering, a 64-entry CAM filter and a 64-entry VLAN filter,
64-bit multicast hash filter, 4 separate transmit DMA queues, flow control
