Supposedly.

Unless they're the cheap taiwanese clones of NE2000 cards that my
previous employer bought about ten years ago.  The first couple worked,
since they were on different bits of cable, then everything went
pear-shaped.  50 *identical* reverse-engineered chinese copy cards anyone?

I'm not convinced that there's a genuine problem here, let alone a problem worth solving.
