This was some older Dell thing, P-166MMX.  I got it running eventually,
but I had to get in there and write the config files by hand, after
playing with modprobe for a couple of hours trying to find the module
that would work.  Alas, I've given it back to the owner, so I don't have
access to it to play with it any more.
