The LDP Networking HOWTO has a complete list:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/pdf/Net-HOWTO.pdf

You'll need the tulip module or to have tulip compiled into your kernel.

I installed a Netgear FA310TX 10/100 NIC in a 7200 running YDL, but I'm
having a strange problem with it. It seems to run ok for about a week, then
the connection to the network gets lost. Upon reboot it works again. I'm
trying to figure out if it's the card or something else.
