fxp0 <Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B Ethernet> rev 2 int a irq 12 on pci0:10
fxp0: Ethernet address 00:a0:c9:86:67:73

	As long as the card is 10/100B (yes, that B is important from what
I understand), you should have no problem with it at all. Are there better
10/100 cards? Probably. Should you bother looking for them if you are
getting good deal on Intel cards? Probably not.
