I've already reported this upstream (linux kernel bug 6691), but I doubt it will make it into 2.6.17 on which Edgy wiil be based. As well, it would be a nice addition to Dapper. The IP100A chipset has appeared in several inexpensive network cards by D-Link and Encore (I bought one of each last week, lucky me) and as the chipset of integrated network interfaces of mainboards manufactured by ABIT, ASUS and Nvidia.
The chipset manufacturer supplies its own, very hacked, version of the sundance driver (<http://www.icplus.com.tw/pp-IP100A.html>), but the fix in the mainline kernel is trivial as seen below. I'm sure this would make many people be able to install Ubuntu on their computers.
