I have a PCI ethernet with a Winbond chip as well (not sure if it's that exact one and I'm not home). I tried every driver that comes with the kernel source, and looked on KTI's web page, and found nothing (except an SCO driver). I could never get in tough with an engineer by phone. Finally I bought a card I knew was a PCI NE2000 card (it even had a linux driver, but it was against 1.2.13!) made by Ovislink, selected the NE2000 option (under 'Other ISA Cards' section, but I understand in 2.0.34 this wierdness will be fixed and NE2000 cards will show up in PCI card section). You might want to do the same. On the other hand, if you figure out how to make it work, please let me know.
