The Linksys vendor ID and a device ID of 0x1032 show up in the
SysKonnect 98 source...googling elsewhere indicates that the Natsemi
83821 chip used on at least 1 rev of that card is based on the Marvell
Yukon design which this driver does support...so it seems probable that
the sk98lin driver included in FC1 ought to work.  Give it a shot and
let us know.
