Others have covered the card brand issue, so I won't repeat it. You 
shouldn't need Ethernet cards in your Macs; real Macs have Ethernet built 
in. And a Fast Ethernet card won't do much good in a Mac due to limits in 
Open Transport (although OT can use up Fast Ethernet in MacOS 8.5, should 
you decide to upgrade).
