They are in intel chip repertoire now.
Those chips have couple nasty problems which (surprise!)
with DEC Alpha processors cause us to do lots of memory-
to-memory data copying to get alignment optimized.
Therefore I am not that surprised to see it EOLed.
I might refer to intel PCI ethernet controller chips,
which too are available at fairly decent price. More
importantly, as intel's business is to make those chips,
we can get good programming documents for them. (Compare
with any manufacturer that has their own custom chips
at the card and won't yield documents...)
There are also other manufacturers whose primary mission
is to make chips, look around.
