I think cat's lying to you. I just bought a macally ethernet card for my
clone a month ago, and in the box was a floppy for PCs that included a linux
folder. I checked that out, and found out it was out of date but downloaded
a newer one from
http://www.scyld.com/network/rtl8139.html
(I'm sure the floppy said it was an 8139 driver.) However, I haven't
installed the driver for linux, I switched to the iMac for my linux
installation.
