I have 2 of these puppies in my new Linux router/firewall box. Working
fine.
A little sidenote: I had an old Linksys Etherfast in my Win2000 box. When I
added the new one (both the firewall and my w2k box are dual-homed and
exposed to the internet), W2k saw it but couldn't configure it. Apparently
Linksys has made 5 (yes five!) different models of the Etherfast board. At
least in W2k, the driver didn't like having 2 different revs of the board in
the machine at the same time. As soon as I put in 2 identical boards, the
driver was happy. Can't speak for the tulip driver other than I have two
rev 2.0 boards working fine.
Barring that, I posted a message last month (check the archives) giving
links to some tools for debugging tulip problems.
