Hmm...
I installed RH 6.0 on my Acer laptop , and I chose the Xircom Realport with
the 56K modem and ethernet card because of the fact that it had both without
a pigtail.
It works great, both network and modem, even at the same time. I haven't
tested 100M ethernet as I don't have any 100M gear, but 10M works like a
champ. It does do the autosesning for 10M properly...
