Thanks to all who sent help. I took a bit of a break setting up my LAMP
development server to do some design work on Windows XP. But I'm going
to have to get back to the setting up task soon. I've given some time
trying out all your suggestions; but I guess the most cost-effective
thing to do now is really just shell out a bit on an NIC that's sure to
be Linux-compatible.

Just a couple more questions:

1. If I plug in a PCI NIC, I'd have to disable the on-board network
interface on my BIOS, right?


you don't have to.


2. Has anybody had any success using the CNet PRO200 Ethernet Card with
Linux? Or knows that its chip will work with Linux? Here's what it says
on the chip:

DAVICOM
DM9102AF
0540S
MLFSR9


most of our card are cnet pro200 and it works great with mandrake.


My apologies for resurrecting a long-dead thread.
Thanks in advance,

Well, it depends on the brand actually. :)
I suggest you get Edimax Lan Cards. Dirt cheap but works great in Linux. It uses 8139too kernel driver, which Mandriva readily supports.

    Thanks, Paul.
I've tried installing all the drivers on Mandriva's configuration tool 
    with "Realtek" or "RTL" in their names. None worked, unfortunately.

    You know of any other means I could install a driver downloaded from
somewhere? (There are no drivers available on realtek.com.tw.) But then 
    installing linux "drivers" is not as straightforward as installing
    Windows device drivers, is it?
