Uh...Don's latest tulip.c supports the new Netgears. It was mighty
annoying getting to a remote POP with a linux box that had 3 of the newer
cards and only then finding that the driver in 2.0.3x (whatever was
current at the time) didn't support them. I had to dl the latest on my
laptop, transfer it to the server via floppy, compile, copy into place,
and I was set.
We burned through 2 10-packs in no time...nearly all are in linux boxes.
