Too bad, but...

That's good news.  Last time I checked, at least
one of the following sources have Apple II prototype
boards (empty Apple Bus slot cards) that you could
just plug components in and solder wiring to:

http://www.digikey.com/ DigiKey Corporation
http://www.jdr.com/ JDR Microdevices

Once the driver is written, perhaps the design
for this card can be added to the FAQ.  That
way, IIGS users can build their own Ethernet
card!  Or maybe a company in the States like
Alltech can manufacture them on PCBs!
