This all should work OK, be advised that some have had problems with the
Netgear NICs and the tulip driver. I finally gave up playing with the
netgear card and swapped it with a LinkSys 10/100 Etherfast (I already had
this card in another Windows machine so it was no expense). The netgear hub
works fine and the NICs work fine in my Windows 98 boxes.
