Ethernet cards that work
The only ethernet card that I have had success with is the SMC Dual port EtherPower adapter. The board uses a DEC Tulip chipset, which is what is really important. Many boards used this chipset. This chipset is quite old so you I doubt that you can buy these new, but that's a good thing. You can get them cheap on eBay.
Here is a partial list of cards that use the DEC Tulip chipset.
I just did a quick Google search:
Digital 21x4x Tulip PCI Ethernet cards SMC EtherPower 10 PCI(8432T/8432BT) SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI(9332DST) DEC EtherWorks 100/10 PCI(DE500-XA) DEC EtherWorks 10 PCI(DE450) DEC QSILVER's, Znyx 312 etherarray Allied Telesis LA100PCI-T Danpex EN-9400, Cogent EM110
also from the RedHat website:
LinkSys EtherPCI, Netgear FA310TX 10/100Mbps, Macronix MX98713 PMAC, Macronix MX98715 PMAC.
Here is another listing of DEC Tulip cards.
See the section on Supported Ethernet Cards:

A quick check on ebay.com shows that SMC EtherPower boards going for $10. Note that SMC EtherPower II boards are NOT the same - they do not have the DEC chipset so they probably won't work. |
