AMD LANCE and PCnet (AT1500 and NE2100) support
CONFIG_LANCE
If you have a network (Ethernet) card of this type, say Y and read
the Ethernet-HOWTO, available via FTP (user: anonymous) in
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO. Some LinkSys cards are
of this type.
DECchip Tulip (dc21x4x) PCI support
CONFIG_DEC_ELCP
This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet
cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip
21040/21041/21140 (Tulip series) chips. Some LinkSys PCI cards are
of this type. (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI
(smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip"
cards, above. However, most people with a network card of this type
will say Y here.) Do read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available via FTP
(user: anonymous) in ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO.
More specific information is contained in
Documentation/networking/tulip.txt.
This is the new version of this driver. If it does not work for
you please try older version which is also available.
Old DECchip Tulip (dc21x4x) PCI support
CONFIG_DEC_ELCP_OLD
This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet
cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip
21040/21041/21140 (Tulip series) chips. Some LinkSys PCI cards are
of this type. (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI
(smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip"
cards, above. However, most people with a network card of this type

Documentation/networking/tulip.txt.
This an older version of the driver which supports some cards the
new version does not (yet) support. Use it if the new driver does
not work for you.
You will either have to extracht the card and note what chips are on it, or
conslut the URL's, all of which should be in you /usr/doc/* dirs if you
installed all the normal documentation.
