I don't think I've ever had a problem with the Intel cards, they really rock. Yes, they do. The Tulip cards DO have underrun problems... I don't think we will use them anymore. They are good for a really cheap card though. The Kingston 110KNETX is what we have been using.... We've never had a problem with Intel PRO/100 or any of the /100 PCI cards.
