Comment Re:NE2000 cards are the worse kind of ethernet (Score 1) 22
Actually, some of my favorite ethernet cards are LinkSys and Realteks - NE2000 compat cards. They never failed me on Linux installations.
I had more trouble with 3Coms. I guess you're a recent Linux convert, because 3Com PCI models had problems with Linux because they would not release the specs a while back. It left such a bad taste in my mouth that even now I think twice about buying 3Com.
And if you're using 3c509, don't forget to turn the damn plug-and-pray feature OFF.
