Personally, I like Kingston's PCI Ethernet cards. NECX sells the 10
Mbit models for $42 (10base-T only) and $51 (combo). They're based on
Digital's 21041 ("tulip") PCI Ethernet chip, just like most of SMC's
PCI cards, and they work well with Linux. Plus, I've seen FTP between
a pair of these cards at over 1120k/sec before. Fast enough?

The NE2000 should be dead and buried. Let it die in peace.
