Hi,

I don't know which to recommend, but I can tell you, based on personnal
experience not to get something based on the rtl8139 chipset. I am having a
lot of trouble still with it, even trying to run it at only 10Mbps. I have
six of them installed in PCs and Macs, and they work fine under Windows 98
and Mac 0S9, but trying to make it work under YDL2.0 has been nothing but
problems... still is. I got the SMC 1211tx and running as eth1.

I am thinking of trying to use the onboard MACE of my 9600 which is eth0,
but was not recognized by the system after installation.

So anyone with an alternative recommendation? I heard about NE 2000, anyone
with comments?

Philippe.
