I could not find any FCCIDs on these cards.  I found two of them listed in 
the Linux HOWTO:

First card - had a Vicom and a Winbond chip.  The HOWTO listed Winbond.  
Chip number w89c840F.  HOWTO says to use Winbond-840 driver.

Secnod card (with BNC connector).  RTL8029AS.  No RTLs, but I found 
Realtek and it takes ne ne2k-pci.

Kingston KNE111TC listed at a website elsewhere takes tulip.o
