And if you want a name-brand card, try the Advansys
(http://www.advansys.com), which boasts on their web page that they
support Linux.

I personally have used the BT958 and the Diamond Fireport 40 with
absolutely no problems, even at 75mhz bus speed (with a Cyrix P200+ chip). 
The Buslogic/Mylex in particular has a reputation for being bullet-proof.
If yours isn't working, I'd suspect a hardware problem.
