   know if it will work (or of any other gotcha's with Compaq Deskpro's ??)

I've had some Netelligent's show up as TI ThunderLANs; the rest appear
to be Intel EtherExpress Pro 100B's.  If the former I think you'll
need a custom kernel because we didn't have that driver on the boot
disks the last time I checked; otherwise you should be fine.
