Ok... I've been examining those ethernet cards and on one I can't seem to find any 
trace of an FCC ID #.

I managed to identify one of the other ones though.... an accton en1208.... which 
coincidentally has a red hat install description listed in their faq (ne2k-pci 
driver)... however it is not a fast ethernet card so I am a little hesitant to use 
this one.

The one 10/100 card that did come with a windows driver disk... an Acer Nextus 
ALN-320.... does also appear to be supported under linux by the via-rhine driver (as 
evidenced by the slackware linux install instructions available in the driver section 
of their website).

Currently the hub I am using is only 10BaseT so at the moment speed shouldn't really 
be too much of an issue.  I'm trying to also think of upgradibility at the moment 
however.

The one remaining unidentified fast ethernet adaptor... sported an mx chipset it 
seems... which i believe was also the manufacturer of the previous problem card's 
chipset... so  I would like to avoid using it if possible.

Is their any reason for me to avoid the acer card or it's via-rhine driver? (bugs or 
anything?)
