Looks like it will be using the uli526x driver. That's about as far as I've gotten, but that might be enough to get you started.

Edit: Okay, that is the driver you need. After looking into it more, I found the driver, but you need the 2.6.x kernel. Do you have it installed? If not, you'll have to have someone help you with that before using this driver.

Drivers

Product Category: M1695
Operating System: Linux Kernel 2.6.x

That should get you going on the wired interface at least.
