These aren't real NE2000's, they're "compatible with extensions". I know Addtron makes one; I don't know anyone else. Since the card emulates either an NE2k or a 8013, most people just run in in 8013 mode. The NE2100 is a different beast and runs and amd chipset (I think), not the standard NE2k chipset at all. In UnixWare, the thing has a totally seperate driver. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
