Huh? http://www.kingston.com/networking/install/linuxGEN.asp says: 5.Click [Which Module?] (hold down the mouse button) and select a."ne" for KNE20xxLC, KNE20xx+, KNE20x, KNE30x b."tulip" for KNE40x, KNE100TX, KNE110TX c."rtl8139" for KNE120TX We had some KNE120TX's supplied by mistake in a recent batch of machines. Haven't tried them under FreeBSD, but they seem OK for undemanding use under Linux/WinNT. Having said that, I wholeheartedly second Rodney's opinion of the KNE100TX.
