I'm using a Linksys PCI ethernet card, which has a DECchip 21040 ethernet controller on board. Cost me about $120. It does 10Base-T and thinnet. Works out of the box with the 'de' ethernet driver. I'm using a recent SNAP, but I don't think there's any reason why earlier versions wouldn't work. louie > I need a good PCI 10baseT card to use in a router.
