I must say I'm quite happy with my Linksys NE2000 card. Very cheap (it was $49 at CompUSA), good performance, 16-bit ISA (of course), and works beautifully under FreeBSD and Linux, as well as Win95 and WFW3.11. The Maxtech NE2000 card is $10 cheaper (at $39 CompUSA) and is also a good performer. We have it running in another machine here, that mainly runs Win95 but also can be found running FreeBSD every now and then.)
