[tulip] Driver for Winbond Chip

Hi all,

I bought a NIC or my linux box believing that it has an RTL
(-compatible) chip on it.
But dmesg, respectively cat /proc/pci showed a Winbond chip. On the
cardbord box it says 
"trust Ethernet 10/100 MBit network interface card). Trust is the
conpany.

I tried SuSE distribution 6.4 (Kernel 2.2.14) and Debian Potato
distribution (Kernel 2.2.17)
but I did not succeed with insmod or modprobe. I probed on RTLxxxx,
8390, tulip , tulip.old, 
ne, ne2k and some other.

As you (the list) could help me some months ago with a similar problem
(I bought a NIC
showing a "MACRONIX" chip which is a DEC tulip clone) I dare to hope
that you perhaps
have heard of this Winbond chip also.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Carsten
