I didn't ran into these or has any working experience with LG NICs.
Yet I hope the following will help:
1.
[04:03:49 tmp]$ zgrep -A6 "5.1.17. 3c985" /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/Ethernet
-HOWTO.txt.gz
5.1.17. 3c985
Status: Supported, Driver Name: acenic
This driver, by Jes Sorensen, is available in v2.2 kernels It supports
several other Gigabit cards in addition to the 3Com model.
[04:03:59 tmp]$
2. Search for more info on their site, mail lgnetworks support etc.

Hillel used to say: If I am not for myself who will be for me?
Yet, if I am for myself only, what am I? And if not now, when?
