Wow... that's a pretty broad question!

Yes I have had very good performance with the 'recent' tulip cards:

# lspci | grep DECchip
04:08.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43
(rev 41)
04:09.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43
(rev 41)

I have been able to tunnel about 186 Mbits/s on a P3Xeon/866 on any
2.4.{1,3}
kernel with two of the above cards (tulip driver). Note that this means
full duplex was on and the box was forwarding a total of 186 MBits of data
fron one NIC to another; actually it was 93 in each direction. Fast
routing (a la CONFIG_NET_FASTROUTE) was _not_ compiled into the kernel.
