Most ethernet cards for the Mac are lacking this sRsrc.  I don't know
why except that a lot of nubus h/w vendors seem to slap together just
enough of a declaration ROM to get by.  Not too different from PC
vendors except that there is a lot more experience/expertise out there
for ISA/PCI/etc., and fewer requirements.

Just like in the PC world (except perhaps moreso), there appears to
be a "that's OK, our driver will handle it" mentality.  ...which doesn't
help us much.  ;-)

If they can tell you the memory, PROM, and register offsets for your
card, you should be in a good position for getting a working driver!
