Ethernet drivers - where to get?, now that Scyld no longer has them

The sources of the Linux Ethernet drivers written by Donald Becker
used to be available from the Scyld website
(http://www.scyld.com/network.html). But Scyld pulled them some while
ago, and doesn't appear to be planning to restore them anytime soon.
Does anybody know where the latest versions can now be found? They
were all GPL AFAIR so there is no reason why another site should not
carry them.
(My immediate need is for the via-rhine driver for the 2.6.x kernel,
but I'm sure that a general answer to this question would be useful to
a many people. A Google search of course finds thousands of hits, but
what we need is one site which maintains all the latest versions.)

I read somewhere they would be restoring the pages?

Looks as it comes directly with the kernel source, no need for
additional download:

# modinfo -a via-rhine
Donald Becker <becker#####at#####scyld####dot####com>

(above spam trap put in by me)

# uname -r
2.6.6
