The ARM firmware I extracted from the windows driver seems to be only
28228 bytes and has this version string:

Version 2.4.3.2 built on Wed Nov 5 13:03:36 CET 2003 by inlbuild@tix.

There seems to be only one entry in the vector table at the beginning
of the image, most of the code is Thumb.

After loading this firmware, ifconfig does not report an error as
before, but now I get the following stuff in syslog:

Feb  7 00:25:53 linux kernel: eth1: firmware uploaded done, now triggering

Is this another chip (V2) and does it have some of the firmware in ROM?
