Make sure you reset your cable modem after you change cards
as it needs to "take" to the new MAC address |

It uses the newer tulip driver, so you may have to upgrade
your driver to one of Becker's latest before it'll run with your system. |

Realtek 8029 Chipset |

When using it with linux it work grand as a PCI ne2000 card.
I dont see any support for its chipset specifically in the kernel, just
the RTL 8039. |

The linux kernel understands the card if IO and IRQ are
specified (either in lilo.conf or modules.conf depending on kernel config).
This card has worked with every kernel version I have tried from 1.1.x
-> 2.0.36 Assuming the card is set up under the DOS Setup utility for IO=0x340
and IRQ=10
(My setup)...
You can install Linux with this card, but it will not autoprobe the
card. You must provide the IRQ and IO address.
If you have /lib/modules//net/ne.o -- or -- build the NE2000
driver as a module, you can add to /etc/conf.modules:
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x340,irq=10
If you rebuild the kernel with NE2000 support built in, it should
find the card at boot time. If it doesn't, add this line to /etc/lilo.conf:
append="ether=0x340,10"
This is a $15 ISA card -- about as cheap as you get. ;) |

Etherfast 56K +10/100 Combo (PCMCIA) |
pcnet_cs / 8390 modules |
linuxguru77 at yahoo dot com |
Both modem and NIC work OK in Linux, tested with Debian 2.2 and Redhat 6.2
Plus this is one of those that has built in jacks, no annoying dongles!
A little on expensive side because of the combo 56k modem + 10/100 NIC |

FA411 10/100 (PCMCIA) |
pcnet_cs / 8390 modules |
linuxguru77 at yahoo dot com |
This one works well with Linux also, tested with Progeny Debian, and again has built in jack so you can be dongle-free.
This one is a bit more affordable, in the $30 range depending where you go. |
