DEC became Compaq, but DEC Semi became Intel.  The chips you are 
looking for now have Intel model numbers.  Or something.  
If it is detected as 21041, then it is likely a 10Mb Tulip-like
card. You can use either the tulip.c or the de4x5 driver.

This chip was used on the SMC EtherPower cards, and on the one
sitting in front of me: a Linksys EtherPCI card.

Note that you can always enter the FCC-ID into the FCC ID Search
form and find out the manufacturer:

www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid

A final note, the v0.89g tulip driver that comes with most linuces
does not work with the new 21143 chips.  Get the 0.91 drivers from
cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux first.

I'm very happy with the Tulip line of cards.  Good luck!
