I started to look around for Ethernet-Cards, too. And what I found out is the
following:
On the one hand there are NE2000-cards available and on the other hand they sell
what is called NE2000-compatible-cards. The first difference one sees is the price:
The later ones only cost about 100 Marks here in Germany, while the first cost up
to 600 Marks.
Now my question: Will those chaep cards really work with Linux? Has anyone any
experiences?
Any help will be good help! thanx in advance...
