Thanks for the snapshot, it helped a lot. The main chip of your card is the WD83C690, that is a clone of the DP8390D (same packaging with the first pin in the middle of one side). After reading the PD8390D datasheet, I suddenly remembered that this chip is part of the NE1K / NE2K reference design. So, to answer your question, it would be easy to tune the existing ELKS N2K driver for your card, without any challenge. You would have only to tune the IRQ and the I/O base, and address the usual tricks of the NE2K implementations. As the ROM slot is not populated, I guess you could forget the MEM base.
