Very Computer

Get an Addtron card.  The ISA's run $20 -25 and work with no problems
under Linux kernel 2.0.27 (probably works with older as well), '95,
and NT 4.0 all on the same machine (all recognize it).  It's what most
of us in SILUG (http://www.silug.org) are using.

I havent sucessfully gotten either of the three cheap NE2000 that ive tried
in my machine to be recognized by linux. Though all three are functional and
worked with other operating systems.

Can anyone reccomend a NE2000 clone in the $20-$30 US dollar range that works
with RedHat 4(colgate) kernel 2.0 ? Ive got both ISA and PCI slots avaliable...

I'm using the Linksys cards that compusa sells for $44. I'm using slcakware 3.0
withe kernals upgraded to the 2.0.? series.

I'm using a Genius GE2000II and it works great under RHL4.0.  The GE2000III
should work as well.  These cost <$30.

  A friend and I are both running the 16-bit ISA CEI NE2000 clone ($24)
on PCI/ISA-bus machines with kernel 2.0.27. The trick is to use the
DOS-based setup utility to address them up at 0x340 with IRQ=10.
