I don't have experience that directly helps but wanted to ask if there
were obvious differences or switches based on NIC type in the
driver.

FWIW I have the same issue to deal with in the DEC driver.  My old
home PC has a clone chip which is the same enough to do the same
thing if I add its ID.  I suppose we will be debugging the same thing
in different drivers. :(
