} 
}    Yes. The if_de driver works with the SMC 9332 fast ethernet cards.

It works with lot more cards, too, many of which are 30% cheaper than
the SMC, and have identical performance.  I've verified the
following other brands:

Infotel
Compex
Mylex
Danpex
DEC (but of course, though I doubt you want to pay the price)

If the thing has got a DEC 21140 chip on the board, there is
a good chance it works.  Haven't tried Cogent, but it may work
just fine too.
