I have this CF ethernet card, which uses Asix AX88790 driver
Has anyone used this card in 2.6 kernels?
I read somewhere that the AX88790 driver is only available for 2.6 kernels.

I'm not giving up easily on this card since it is brand new, and I cannot return it.
Here is a post about someone getting this working for 2.6 kernel

Socket indicates that this chip has a Phy bug and they provide a workaround.
