This is what is the key.  DL2517A (with some Googling) is a DLink 
Ethernet chip, and it's suggested that it is an NE2000 compatible, so 
you'll want to try the NE2000 driver module.   I'm guessing that the 
hardware address of this card will be 00:80:c8:25:dd:07

"Glue" chips, I'd imagine.  Perhaps line drivers? Not important here, 
though.

Good old 74LS245 - logic chip.

Probably serial number or model number.

[SNIP]

Good luck.   Like all ISA cards, you'll want to make sure that you 
check IRQ and memory assignments - probably IRQ 10 or 5 is available.  
The module will likely want them as command-line arguments.

Hope this helps,
