Is the Intel Etherexpress Pro/100+ supported?

The Intel etherexpress pro/100+ is based on the i82258 chip whereas
the 2.1.x kernel driver is for the pro/100 using the i82257 chip.

Does anyone know whether the new chip is compatible with the old
driver, or whether there is a new driver for the new chip?

Also, it appears that Compaq are selling cards with the same chip
('Netelligent 10/100TX PCI Intel UTP Controller'). Does anyone have
any experience using these from a stability/performance point of
view?

Thanks in advance,

-D
