OK, this part is kinda different, it has a MAC thats the same as the E1000
boards but the PHY is 10/100, so guess what..... :)

You get to use the em driver, not the fxp.

The 6.1 RELEASE may not yet have support, but since they merged my
6.0.5 and 6.1.4 drivers with the STABLE tip of tree if you get that latest
driver it should work.

If not let me know,
