It got bought by intel, so they are now manufactured as Intel chips. The Kingston kne100tx uses the now-intel-manufactured chip. They're available for <$50 or quit a bit less if you buy bulk :) (ie www.warehouse.com) They've worked great for me. A quick search on the intel web site brings up such informative links as http://developer.intel.com/design/network/products/lan/controllers/21143.htm Gilbert ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sergey Babkin" To: "Luigi Rizzo" Cc: Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2001 7:40 PM Subject: Re: if_fxp status? > Luigi Rizzo wrote: > > > Now, the 21143 (which is a pretty nice chip and has available > > documentation and a decent driver, "dc") is discontinued, but there > > are clones which work reasonably well (and are even cheaper, around > > $30 or so at compusa, i think netgear or linksys does one of these > > cards).
