Then look into a realtek chipset based card (using the rl driver) or a card based on the DEC 21143, here's a list from version 4.2 of cards that have this chipset: Digital DE500-BA, Kingston KNE100TX, D-Link DFE-570TX, SOHOware SFA110, SVEC PN102-TX, CNet Pro110B, 120A, and 120B, Compex RL100-TX, LinkSys LNE100TX, LNE100TX V2.0, Jaton XpressNet, Alfa Inc GFC2204, KNE110TX. > However, they have the 3Com 3c905B ready for a buy. I've The Intel fxp and the DEC driver are the favored ones.
